- A biochemist is designing a new drug that will mimic the shape and function of a particular intercellular signaling molecule. Therefore she must produce a molecule that will bind to the receptor protein and... A. produce a cellular response by altering the Na+/K+ pump located near the receptor site. B. induce a change in the receptor molecule shape, which will ultimately prevent a cellular response. C. induce a change in the receptor molecule shape, which will ultimately produce a cellular response. D. induce a change in the phospholipid bilayer that causes a polar reversal allowing the molecules to be endocytose (engulfed).arrow_forwardIn relation to Cushing’s Syndrome, a method that some scientists have used to treat the disease is to use small molecules that bind to, but do not activate, MC2R. This type of molecule is considered an antagonist. How can an antagonist bind to the same receptor as ACTH but not activate it ? a. The antagonist binds covalently while ACTH binds non covalently b. The antagonist is only partially complimentary to the binding pocket of MC2R c. The antagonist binds to ACTH and blocks it from binding to the receptor properly d. The antagonist is the exact same structure as ACTH but since it is synthetic it doesn’t workarrow_forwardEndothelins are 21-amino acid vasoconstricting peptides produced primarily in the endothelium.
