Answer:
Protein B has a higher affinity for ligand C than protein A
Explanation:
Binding affinity is a measure of the strength of the bonds or interactions between a single biomolecule or receptor to its ligand. A ligand is usually a small molecule that binds to a specific receptor.
The receptor is usually a large molecule that contains a specific site for the binding of ligand.
Binding affinity is usually measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). The equilibrium dissociation constant KD is a ratio of the dissociation and the association of ligand to the receptor. The value of KD is used to evaluate and compare the strengths of bimolecular interactions. The larger the KD value, the more weakly the target molecule and ligand are attracted to and bind to one another.
The higher the dissociation constant (KD), the weaker the affinity is between the interacting molecules, whereas, the smaller the KD value, the greater the binding affinity of the ligand for its target.
Protein B has a KD value of 10⁻⁹ M while Protein A has a KD of 10⁻⁶ M.
Ration of KD of protein B to protein A = 10⁻⁹ M/10⁻⁶ M = 10⁻³
Therefore, protein B has a KD value which is 1000 times smaller than the KD of protein A.
Answer: 2. Each subunit represents a separate polypeptide chain, while one polypeptide chain may contain several domains.
Explanation: Each subunit constitutes of one polypeptide chain. A polypeptide chain has one particular gene coding for it. thus it simply implies that a protein must have one gene for each subunit.
Many proteins is made up of different protein domains. A particular domain may appear in a variety of different proteins.
domains are stable on there own, they can be exchanged via genetic engineering between one protein and another.
The correct answer is H+.
<span>Secretion from the peritubular capillary network into the convoluted tubules is a process called tubular secretion. This is an important process for both waste removal and acid-base balance. The secretion step is usually used to remove drugs, toxins, and poisons, or other molecules such as potassium (K+) and hydrogen (H+). The secreted molecules come from the peritubular capillaries and pass through the interstitial fluid before going through the wall of the tubule into the lumen of the tubule.</span>
That is the correct answerrrrrr
