Protein & Lignands Flashcards
1
Q
Principle 1
A
Reversible binding of many proteins to other binding materials.
2
Q
Ligand
A
A molecule bounds reversible to proteins.
3
Q
Principle 2
A
Binding sites are complementary to the lignand in size, shape, and charge, and hydrophobic or hydrophilic character.
4
Q
Principle 3
A
Proteins are flexible
5
Q
Principle 4
A
Binding of a proteins and a lignand are coupled to a conformational change in proteins, that make bindind sites more complementary to the lignand.
6
Q
Induce fit
A
Structural adaptations that occur between protein and ligands.
7
Q
Principle 5
A
In a multisubunit protein, conformational change in one subunit can affect the conformation of other subunits.
8
Q
Principle 6
A
Interactions between ligands and proteins can be regulated.
