With regard to insulin, choose the correct options: C-peptide is not present in mature insulin. The insulin produced by rDNA technology has C-peptide. The pro-insulin has C-peptide. A-peptide and B-peptide of insulin are interconnected by disulphide bridges.
(b) and (d) only
(b) and (c) only
(a), (c), and (d) only
(a) and (b) only
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement regarding insulin:(a) C-peptide is not present in mature insulin. - Insulin is initially synthesized as a single polypeptide called preproinsulin. - It is then processed to proinsulin, which contains the A-chain, B-chain, and C-peptide. - During maturation, the C-peptide is removed, leaving only the A and B chains connected by disulphide bridges. - Therefore, statement (a) is correct.(b) The insulin produced by rDNA technology has C-peptide. - Recombinant DNA technology typically produces mature insulin, which does not include the C-peptide. - Therefore, statement (b) is incorrect.(c) The pro-insulin has C-peptide. - Pro-insulin is the precursor to insulin and includes the C-peptide. - Therefore, statement (c) is correct.(d) A-peptide and B-peptide of insulin are interconnected by disulphide bridges. - In mature insulin, the A and B chains are connected by disulphide bridges. - Therefore, statement (d) is correct.Now, let's identify the correct options:Statements (a), (c), and (d) are correct.This corresponds to Option 3: (a), (c), and (d) only.
