C3bBb Machine

The molecular machine that I am doing my report on is called the C3bBb complex. It is involved in the immunization process that Kyle talked about last period and is known as the "chainsaw" in the process. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of C3 in the blood into C3a and C3b. This action triggers a series of events until mast cell degranulation occurs, which is part of the immunization process.
