ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Statement B is false.

Explanation:

PKA and PKG is both have binding domains to attach with nucleoside monophosphate and help in modulating these enzymes that explains that PKA is more related to the PKG than PKC at the level of amino acid.

At the level of  polypeptide chain level PKG has single polypeptide chain whereas in PKA modulatory domains are located on different poly peptide chain. Both are activated by the nucluoside triphosphate, more precisely PKA by cAMP and PKG is by cGMP respectively, whereas PKC is activated by DAG or Ca or both depending on the isofom.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
