Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The denaturation of crystallin in the lens of the eye leads to the formation of insoluble protein aggregates, known as cataracts, which are a common finding in many tissues during aging. Soluble protein aggregates (choice A) are not typically associated with denaturation and tend to form under different circumstances. Insoluble amino acids (choice C) are not a known consequence of protein denaturation, and chaperone proteins (choice D) are not directly related to the formation of protein aggregates in aging tissues.
