BioChemistry Problem

State whether the Hill Coefficient (N) is positive or negative? Explain your reasoning in each case.

(a) The protein has multiple subunits, each with a single ligand-binding site. Binding of ligand to one site increases the binding affinity of other sites for the ligand.

(b) The protein is a single polypeptide with two ligand-binding sites, site one causes a structural change that decreases affinity for the second ligand.

(d) The protein has two subunits and as one ligand binds, the second binds with lower affinity.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Hill coefficient :- It is a measurement of cooperativity of substrate binding to the protein. It describe the fraction of macromolecules saturated by ligand.

When N value is greater than 1 suggest two or more binding sites present in the protein. That mean positive cooperativity present . And also shows positive cooperativity binding of one ligand facilitates binding of other ligand at other site of the multimeric receptor.

Answer with reason is as follows :-

QUESTION 4 State whether each of the following are TRUE or FALSE, and explain your reasoning for the answer: The binomial distribution is defined by its mean and standard deviation. As the sample size increases, the standard error of the mean decreases. If the population distribution is unknown, in most cases the sampling distribution of the mean can be approximated by the normal distribution if the samples contain at least 10 observations. (b) Suppose the following trend line and seasonal...
