How does the ligand-gated channel for CFTR work?

Biology
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Ligand-gated channels require a special “key” to unlock their doors, which usually comes in the form of a small molecule.

CFTR is a ligand-gated channel, but it’s an unusual one. Its “key” is ATP, a small molecule that plays a critical role in the storage and release of energy within cells in the body. In addition to binding the ATP, the CFTR channel must snip a phosphate group – one of three “P’s” – off the ATP molecule to function. But when, where and how often this crucial event takes place has remained obscure.

When Griffith injected mice with a dead S strain of pneumatic bacteria the mice remained healthy.

Explain how the autoinducer molecule in luminescent bacteria signals when to luminesce
strojnjashka [21]

Autoinducer molecules are signalling molecules that need bacteria. In order for the autoinducer molecules to signal, the bacteria must find a way to initiate the signal and a way to respond to the signal it had created. Autoinducer molecules increase in production as the density of the bacteria cell increases.
