Identify the statement that is NOT correct.
- Antigen binding site is located at C-terminal region of antibody molecules.
- Constant region of heavy and light chains are located at C-terminus of antibody molecules
- Each antibody has two light and two heavy chains.
- The heavy and light chains are held together by disulfide bonds.
Answer
(1) Antigen binding site is located at C-terminal region of antibody molecules.
Solution
An antibody (H2L2) has two heavy and two light chains joined by disulfide bonds.
The variable regions, which form the antigen-binding sites, lie at the N-terminal ends of the chains; the constant regions lie at the C-terminal ends.
So statement (1) is not correct.
Answer: (1)
