B.do not respond to enzymatic glycosylation
C.are at least several months old
D.respond more acutely than other proteins to changes in moisture levels
参考答案
正确答案:C
解析:推理判断题。本文第四段指出,nonenzymatic glycosylation的过程是较为复杂漫长的一个过程If a given protein persists in the body formonths or years,some of its Amadori products slowly dehydrate and rearrange themselves yet again,into new glucose-derived structures.These can combine with various kinds of molecules to form. irreversible structures named advanced glycosylation end products (AGE's),如果这一过程确实与白内障的形成有关的话,那么crystallin proteins至少要存在几个月的时间。
