Answer;

-Convulsions and possible death

Explanation;

-Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction, it is the chemical that motor neurons of the nervous system release in order to activate muscles.

-It's found in parts of the peripheral nervous system, spinal cord, and areas of the brain. In the peripheral nervous system, ACh activates muscles that help the body move. When Ach is released to the muscle cells, the muscle contracts.

-There are many problems that can occur if ACh is blocked (muscles can't contract). One example is the black widow spider which uses venom that causes a flood of ACh into muscle cells and results in violent, uncontrollable muscle contractions, paralysis, and death for it's prey.

How does a cell handle misfolded proteins
ANEK [815]
<span>Cells primarily recognize exposed hydrophobic patches when identifying misfolded proteins. This is very prevalent in bacteria and I would assume that similar mechanisms are used in eukaryotes. There is also a system where misfolded proteins are tagged by different glycosylation patterns, but I don't remember much about that part.</span>

DENIUS [597]
Each hydrogen bond will  form ONE COVALENT bond with the other atoms in the molecule. Hydrogen has only one atom; to form a covalent bond, it has to donate one electron and the other atom that hydrogen is bonding with will donate one electron also, making two. These two electrons will be shared between the two, making the atoms to have two electrons each.
