) An allosteric interaction between a ligand and a protein is one in which: (3 pts) A) binding of a molecule to a binding site a
ffects binding of additional molecules to the same site. B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects binding properties of another site on the protein. C) binding of the ligand to the protein is covalent. D) multiple molecules of the same ligand can bind to the same binding site. E) two different ligands can bind to the same binding site.
B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects the binding properties of another site on the protein.
Explanation:
In an allosteric interaction between a protein and a ligand, the ligand binds to a site in the protein. As a result, there is a change in the properties of other active sites on the protein. These active-site changes may or may not allow the protein to bind to other molecules. There is a change in the protein that affects the affinity of the active site for other molecules. The affinity on the active site increases if the protein binds to an activator and decreases if the protein binds to an inhibitor molecule.
An environment high in carbon dioxide and high in oxygen induce oxygen to bind to hemoglobin. Another factors are an environment under high pressure and an environment under low pressure.
I chose biology to study life. I want to learn more about the life cycle and the way it works. This magor is a import part of my life because it will teach me more about my kind and other like me. it will also give me a better understanding about plants, animals, and humans.
