Positive cooperativity is when binding of a ligand to a protein results in a conformational change that allows increased binding affinity at other ligand binding sites in the same molecule.
Select one:
True
False
Homework Answers
The given statement is True
Positive Cooperativity occurs when the binding of a ligand molecule increases the receptor's apparent affinity, and hence increases the chance of another ligand molecule binding.

Assume that the concentration of the ligand is much greater than the concentration of the protein. When ligand Y is present at a concentration of 2 x 10-6 M, 50% of the binding sites on the molecules of protein X are found to be occupied. If the concentration of the ligand is increased to 3 x 10-6 M, what fraction of the binding sites will be occupied? Please explain the steps to solve this problem.

The binding of a ligand to a receptor is important for allowing external signals to affect intracellular processes. Which property of receptor proteins is key for this signaling to occur? Select one: a. Non-reversible binding to ligand b. Non-rigid structure that allows for conformational changes when a ligand binds c. Non-specific interactions with extracellular molecules d. Non-specific interactions with intracellular molecules

1. Protein kinases phosphorylate target enzymes and as a result enzymes become activated or inactivated. Which of the statements are TRUE? (Multiple answers: You can select more than one option) A. Phosphorylated enzymes behave like competitive inhibitors B The presence of a phosphate acts as a non-competitive inhibitor/activator. No change in Km but significant change in Vmax C. The presence of a phosphate group induces a conformational change that modifies the affinity and catalytic ability of a target enzyme D....
