Tamoxifen is a drug used to prevent recurrence of certain types of breast cancers that require estrogen to grow. Tamoxifen binds

to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, preventing estrogen from binding to the enzyme. Once Tamoxifen binds to the protein, the protein is permanently deactivated. Which of the following descriptions best fits Tamoxifen? A. Tamoxifen is a reversible, noncompetitive inhibitor. B. Tamoxifen is an irreversible, noncompetitive inhibitor. . Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor. D. Tamoxifen is a reversible, competitive inhibitor. E. Tamoxifen is not an inhibitor.

Answer:

Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor,  the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.

Is ammonium ion a bronsted base
Leokris [45]

Unlikely. It's unlikely for ammonium ion {\text{NH}_4}^{+} to accept a proton \text{H}^{+} and act as a Bronsted-Lowry Acid.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the definition of Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases?

  • Bronsted-Lowry Acid: a species that can donate one or more protons \text{H}^{+} in a reaction.
  • Bronsted-Lowry Base: a species that can accept one or more protons \text{H}^{+}

Ammonium ions {\text{NH}_4}^{+} are positive. Protons \text{H}^{+} are also positive.

Positive charges repel each other, which means that it will be difficult for {\text{NH}_4}^{+} to accept any additional protons. As a result, it's unlikely that {\text{NH}_4}^{+} will accept <em>any</em> proton and act like a Bronsted-Lowry Base.
