 structure of a compound influences its function in many ways like we take example of phospholipid bilayer  1. The fact that the tails are hydrophobic means that they do not interact with water. When a bunch of phospholipids are floating around in water, they try to arrange themselves in a bilayer that shields the hydrophobic parts from water-based, or aqueous, surroundings.

2. The heads are hydrophilic and can then interact with water and other polar or charged substances on either side of the bilayer. The bilayer acts as a barrier that allows cells to maintain internal conditions that are different from external conditions, which is monumentally important for cells to operate properly. 

3. Phospholipids demonstrate the intersection of structure and function in another way, too. We already know that fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated and that unsaturated fatty acids have bends in their chains. Those bends prevent fatty acids from packing close.

A drug that interacts directly with receptor sites to cause the same activity that a natural chemical would cause at that site is the instructors best response.  

Explanation:

Receptors are Macromolecules which involved in chemical signalling within cells. It is possible that receptors are located in the cell surface membrane. Cellular biochemical process is regulated by Activated receptor. The drugs are capable to affect to receptor who is related to the drug’s affinity and also intrinsic efficacy.

The affinity and activity of drug is related to its chemical structure. its effect is decided by the time duration where complex persistence of drug-receptor.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

complementary DNA (cDNA)

Explanation:

The complementary DNA (cDNA) is a region of DNA that is synthesized from an RNA template by using a reverse transcriptase enzyme. cDNA is usually used to clone genes from eukaryotic organisms in prokaryotes. cDNA cloning is a technique that consists of isolating and amplifying a self-replicating prokaryotic organism that includes in its genome a cDNA of interest. This technique enables the insertion of fragments of eukaryotic DNA (cDNA) into plasmids that subsequently are multiplied by cloning and finally sequenced.
