To determine:
What the man suffered from; what the antibodies were against; what the dark-staining bodies in his brains cells were; what the preventive measures are that might be used by the healthcare workers to save the man’s life.
Case summary:
A man with a neurological disorder (anxiety, feelings of fear, and unrestrained facial twitching) reached an emergency room. He also developed swallowing difficulties, itching, and sore throat. He negated to drink water due to swallowing difficulties. He frequently vomited and his body temperature is increased (106ºF). He died after being admitted in the hospital for one week. Increased antibody titer (blood) and dark-staining bodies (brain cells) are discovered after the autopsy. Through investigations, his family and friends mentioned that a bat had landed on his face.

Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.
