Chapter 13, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The factor by which an open to closed ratio increases by the binding of the firstacetylcholine molecule and the second acetylcholine molecule needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Acetylcholine act as a neurotransmitter which means, it sends messages or chemicals from one cell to another cell of the body. Acetylcholinesterase helps in stopping the excitation of a nerve cell after the transmission of impulse. In other words, this enzyme causes rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The corresponding free energy contribution of the channel at 250C needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Acetylcholine act as a neurotransmitter which means it sends messages or chemicals from one cell to another cell of the body. Acetylcholinesterase helps in stopping the excitation of a nerve cell after the transmission of impulse or in other words, we can say that this enzyme causes rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether the allosteric transition be accounted for the MWC concerted mode or not needs to be explained.

Ligand binding and response. The following question involves the ligand binding to a receptor and the receptor's response to that ligand. What ligand concentration would be required for a full agonist with a KD of 8 nM to achieve a response of 0.75?
= 20 nM. The rate of receptor-ligand complex formation with an A receptor-ligand complex has a dissociation constant of Ka added ligand concentration of 10 µM is 5 × 10³ s¯¹. What is the value of the reverse rate constant, k_₁ ? k_₁ = 8-1
True or False. The binding affinity between a peptide agonist and its specific G protein coupled receptor alone determines the sensitivity of a cell to the agonist peptide.
