Identify the statement that is NOT correct.
Options
- AEach antibody has two light and two heavy chains.
- BThe heavy and light chains are held together by disulfide bonds.
- CAntigen binding site is located at C-terminal region of antibody molecules.
- DConstant region of heavy and light chains are located at C-terminus of antibody molecules
Correct answer
C. Antigen binding site is located at C-terminal region of antibody molecules.
Step-by-step solution
Each antibody molecule has four peptide chains, two small called light chains and two longer called heavy chains. Hence, an antibody is represented as H ₂ ~L ₂ . In an antibody molecule, antigen binding site is located at N-terminal region.
