Questão 15

Questão
Which of the following is not associated with allosteric regulation of an enzyme's activity?
Responda
  • A molecule mimics the substrate and competes for the active site
  • A naturally occurring molecule stabilizes a catalytically active conformation
  • regulatory molecules bind to a site remote from the active site
  • Inhibitor and activator molecules may compete with one another

Questão 16

Questão
A scientist purified a protein from animal cells and made fluorescent antibodies to it. When she isolated pieces of the plasma membrane from another batch of aniaml cells and added the fluorescent antibodies, she could see fluorescence on both sides of the membrane. She tried to isolate the protein from the membranes but could not do so without destroying the membranes. The protein was probably...
Responda
  • a peripheral protein
  • a farnesyl-anchored protein
  • a transmembrane protein
  • a cytosolic protein
