  1. 1The binding of other molecules or [blank_start]LIGANDS[blank_end] is key to the action of most proteins. This involves molecular recognition of [blank_start]the ligand[blank_end] by the protein and this is usually very specific using the same type of [blank_start]non-covalent[blank_end] bonds involved in stabilising protein structure. The following points are generally true of most binding interactions/sites in proteins/ligands.
    1. ALIGANDS
    2. BENZYMES
    3. CATOMS
    4. DINHIBITORS
    5. Ethe ligand
    6. Fthe enzyme
    7. Gthe atom
    8. Hthe inhibitor
    9. Inon-covalent
    10. Jcovalent
  2. 2On what does molecular recognition depend?
    1. Aon complementarity of shape and charge distribution between the ligand and the protein binding site.
    2. Bon the formation of specialised microenvironments formed in the tertiary structure of the proteins called ligand binding sites or in enzymes active sites.
    3. Con the molecular weight of the ligand and the amino acids in the protein binding site
    4. Don the presence of the non-covalent bonds in both the ligand and the protein binding site
  3. 3Protein flexibility inherant in many proteins structures enables proteins to adapt to ligand on binding. And this is often essential for protein function. This mechanism is called.
    1. AInduced fit
    2. BLock and key mechanism
    3. CRecognition transformation
    4. DLIgand adaptation
  4. 4The binding of a ligand to a protein can be expressed mathematically and a constant can be derived which describes the tightness of binding of a ligand to a protein. What constant is it?
    1. AKd, the equilibrium constant for the release of ligand.
    2. BKcat, the turnover number -- the number of substrate molecule each enzyme site converts to product per unit time
    3. CKm, the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is at half-maximum
  5. 5FInish the equation transformationImage for question 5

    2. BImage for option B
    3. CImage for option C
    4. DImage for option D
  6. 6Binding sites will be lined with appropriate amino acids or binding elements which interact specifically with the [blank_start]ligand[blank_end].
    Binding si Binding sites can be different shapes, for [blank_start]macromolecules[blank_end] they can be concave, convex or flat and may be grooves, [blank_start]for small molecules[blank_end] they can be clefts, pockets or cavities.
    tes and more specifically catalytic [blank_start]active[blank_end] sites often occur at the interface between subunits or domains in proteins.
    Binding sites generally have a higher than average amount of exposed [blank_start]hydrophobic[blank_end] groups.
    [blank_start]Weak[blank_end] interactions between ligand and protein can favour easy exchange of molecules.
    The energy for driving binding events is often provided by the displacement of [blank_start]water molecules[blank_end] from the ligand binding site.
    1. Aligand
    2. BInhibitor
    3. Ccoenzyme
    4. Dcofactor
    5. Emacromolecules
    6. Fsmall molecules
    7. Gfor small molecules
    8. Hfor macromolecules
    9. Iactive
    10. Jbinding
    11. KInhibition
    12. Lenzyme
    13. Mhydrophobic
    14. Nhydrophilic
    15. OWeak
    16. PStrong
    17. Qwater molecules
    18. Rhydrophobic amino acids
    19. Shydrophilic amino acids
    20. Tcoordination atoms
  7. 7Label the graphImage for question 7
    1. AKd
    2. B[L]
    3. C[P.L] / [Po]
  8. 8The dissociation constant [blank_start]Kd[blank_end] represent the equilibrium constant for the release of ligand and that when the concentration of [blank_start]L[blank_end] is equal to Kd [blank_start]half[blank_end] of the ligand binding sites are occupied.

    1. AKd
    2. BKm
    3. CKcat
    4. DKa
    5. EL
    6. FPo
    7. G1/2
    8. H3/4
  9. 9 In practice Kd is used to express the [blank_start]affinity[blank_end] of a protein for a ligand.
    The units of Kd are molar concentration ie. [blank_start]Moles/litre[blank_end]
    When [blank_start]concentration[blank_end] of L is [blank_start]lower[blank_end] than Kd then very little ligand is bound.
    In order for 90% of ligand binding sites to be occupied [L] must be [blank_start]nine times[blank_end] Kd.
    The lower the value of Kd the [blank_start]higher[blank_end] the affinity of the ligand for the protein.
    1. Aaffinity
    2. BMoles/litre
    3. Cconcentration
    4. Dlower
    5. Ehigher
    6. Fnine times
