A group of researchers has discovered BACE2, an enzyme that may help fight Alzheimer's
enzyme works by destroying beta-amyloid
, a chain of amino acids that has been associated
disease. Which statement best explains how this
enzyme works?
OA. The enzyme is an amino acid that contains specific instructions for cells, destroying
beta-amyloid chains.
OB. The enzyme is a protein that binds to the beta-amyloid, breaking the amino acid chair
smaller pieces.
O C. The enzyme is a carbohydrate that releases energy, separating the bonds in the beta-a
chain.
D. The enzyme is a saturated lipid that binds to another beta-amyloid chain, forming a di
macromolecule chain.
