Chapter 8.2, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The similarity and difference between the ligand binding to receptor and enzyme binding to the substrate.
Introduction:
A signal transduction pathway includes a group of proteins and polysaccharides that carry the signals by the binding of the signaling molecule with the receptor. The signals carried, leads to conformational changes in the proteins, further trigger a cascade of reactions leading to a cellular response.

- In noncompetitive inhibition, can both the substrate and the inhibitor bind at the same time? I know the inhibitor changes the enzyme's conformation so it would lower the product formation, but what if the substrate were to bind first, and then the inhibitor binded afterwards?arrow_forwardIt is important for a protease to distinguish between two different proteins so that it only cleaves its target protein. The target protein has the target sequence glu-asp- ser. What amino acids should line the substrate-binding site (the target protein binding site) of the enzyme to help it to recognize its target? Amino acids such as glutamate and aspartate. Amino acids such as glutamine and phenylalanine. Amino acids such as arginine and lysine. Amino acids such as tryptophan and cysteine. Any amino acids would work as long as there are three.arrow_forwarda) b) You walk into university and see that everyone has become a unicorn. You try to hide in bluezone only to figure out that everyone can sense you. You are kidnapped by a unicorn, and they ask you: "How do kinases work?" You wake up realizing it was all a dream, but you still wonder: how do kinases work? Hydrolyze the protein and then ATP to activate it First hydrolyze ATP and then transfer Pi to activate a protein Tranfer a free Pi and then hydrolyze ATP to make more free Pi Bind GTP after releasing GDP from the alpha subunitarrow_forward
- You think you need may have found a new inhibitor (NI) of the HIV protease, so you performed few experiments to characterize its behavior. You found that if you add an excess of substrate to the protease in the presence of the inhibitor, enzyme activity decreased at low substrate but reached the same vmax as observed in the absence of the inhibitor. Also, the affinity of the substrate for the enzyme is decreased by the inhibitor. What class of inhibitor is NI, competitive, uncompetitive, non competitive, or mixed type?arrow_forwardThe video showed one way that a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) can deliver a signal using heterotrimeric G proteins.
