Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding proteins? Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding proteins? Th
ere is a link between improperly folded proteins and disease in both mad cow disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease causes proteins in the brain to become improperly folded. The three-dimensional shape of a protein is critical for the functioning of that protein. High heat and a change in pH can denature a protein.
Answer: Alzheimer's disease causes proteins in the brain to become improperly folded.
Explanation:
The alzheimer disease is a brain disorder that destroys the memory and thinking skills in the affected patients.
The alzheimer disease is identified as the protein folding disease. It is due to the accumulation of abnormally folded protein called as amyloid beta protein present inside the brain of the alzheimer's patients. The function of this protein is unclear and it is assumed to be involved in the neuronal development.
