People who have Alzheimer's disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer's is characterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells. Recently scientists have discovered an enzyme, BACE2, that decreases these
abnormal protein fragments in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?
(1 point)
A. BACE2 breaks down into smaller pieces that react with the abnormal protein fragments, forming more complex molecules.
B. BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
Ос.
BACE2 molecules link several abnormal protein fragments together, forming a complete
protein.
D. BACE2 is a reactant that combines with the abnormal protein fragments.
