How does insulin inactivate glycogen synthase kinase?
By activating a kinase that phosphorylates the active form of glycogen synthase kinase, thereby inactivating it.
Insulin is a kinase -- an enzyme that phosphorylates various proteins -- and among the proteins it phosphorylates is glycogen synthase.
Insulin enters sensitive cells (cells having the insulin receptor) and binds to glycogen synthase, inactivating it.
All of the above.

1. How does the injection of insulin affect the signal transduction pathway of type 1 diabetics? a. Injected insulin prevents the glucose from binding to cellular protein receptor. b. Insulin acts as a secondary messenger that cascades the message to allow glucose into the cell. c. Insulin is absorbed into the cytoplasm and binds with the transcription factor to make it active. d. Protein receptors on the cell bond to the insulin, which allows glucose to enter...

1. You are interested in how
cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) functions to affect
learning and memory, and you decide to study its function in the
brain. It is known that, in the cells you are studying, PKA works
via a signal transduction pathway like the one depicted in Figure
16-15. Furthermore, it is also known that activated PKA
phosphorylates the transcriptional regulator called Nerd that then
activates transcription of the gene Brainy. Which, if any
of the situations described...

The presence of a small amount of one hormone (the second messenger) is essential to permit another hormone (the first messenger) to exert its full effect. b. A tropic hormone (the first messenger) stimulates secretion of another hormone (the second messenger). c. The hormone first binds to a specific surface receptor (the first messenger),...

explain how the “lead” compound structure for Gleevec was designed
and how it led to the development a compound that could bind ABL
with higher affinity than ATP.

Question 10-12
10. During the mating process, yeast cells respond to pheromones secreted by other yeast cells. These pheromones bind GPCRs on the surface of the responding cell and lead to the activation of proteins inside the cell. When a wild-type yeast cell senses the pheromone, its physiology changes in preparation for mating: the cell stops growing until it finds a mating partner. If yeast cells do not undergo the appropriate response after sensing a pheromone, they are considered sterile....

Yet, all the cells in your body contain the same
genes (and same alleles). The difference across cell types
is that genes get selectively expressed (turned on or off)
based on the proteins needed for cellular function given their
environment.
