Expert Solution

Any substance that will bind to a protein is known as its ligand . Enzymes bind their substrates at the active site. The enzyme hexokinase is so specific that it reacts with only one of the two isomers of glucose. Enzymes catalyze a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, because they provide conditions favorable for the formation of a free energy intermediate called the transition state. Once the reaction is completed, the enzyme releases the product of the reaction.

A. A mutation in the Dorsal gene that causes the Dorsal protein to bind with high affinity to all of the DNA binding sites for dorsal (remember normally there are low and high affinity sites in front of different genes that allow the effect of a gradient to proceed at the molecular level). 1)What will happen to the particular molecule, 2) what would happen at the cell(s) level, and 3) what would happen at the level of the whole body...

Which complement protein interacts with Ig? Where on the Ig protein does it bind. 5pts Complement can lead to the formation of the MAC which essentially lyses the target cell. Name another way complement leads to the destruction of the target cell and the molecules involved. 5 pts Compare and contrast the activation steps through formation of a C5 convertase between the Classical pathway, the Alternative pathway and the Lectin pathway of complement activation. 12 pts

In order to study the EGF receptor you engineer a protein that can bind ligand but...

In order to study the EGF receptor you engineer a protein that can bind ligand but lacks the intracellular domain of the protein. If you overexpress this protein in the cell it acts like a dominant negative. Explain how it might bind with normal receptors and inhibit downstream signaling. Rubric: Explain how the dominant negative interacts with cellular components (.5) and how this interaction will overall inhibit EGFR signaling (.5).
