Which of the following statements is not correct ?
A
Insulin maintains sugar level in the blood of a deoxyribose human body
B
Ovalbumin is a simple food reserve in egg white
C
Blood proteins thrombin and fibrinogen are involved in blood clotting
D
Denaturation makes the proteins more active
Answer :
Denaturation makes the proteins more active
Deprotonation of protein occur when it is subjected to physical change like change in temperature or chemical change like change in $$pH,$$ the hydrogen bonds are disturbed. As a result, globules unfolds and helix get uncoiled and protein losses its biological activity. Hence, the denaturation of protein makes the protein inactive.

Which of the following vitamins is water soluble?
Riboflavin ( vitamin $${B_2}$$ ) is water soluble vitamin. All other vitamins i.e., vitamin $$E,$$ vitamin $$K,$$ vitamin $$D$$ and vitamin $$A$$ (retinol) are fat soluble vitamins.
Enzymes are made up of proteins with specific structure and acts as a catalyst for biochemical reactions.
