True or False. The binding affinity between a peptide agonist and its specific G protein coupled receptor involves certain types of chemical bonds. Explain your answer in detail.. ( please do not copy off of another source.. e.g chegg)
AMPK and mTOR can both be considered intracellular signal integrators. Explain this definition.
Ligand binding to proteins may occur with varying strengths; some ligands bind tightly to proteins while others bind less tightly. The strengths of reversible binding are determined experimentally by varying concentrations of ligands, and measuring the saturation of the protein in the various ligand concentrations. One such laboratory study investigated the binding of a hormone to three different receptor proteins in the cell membrane. The data collected are shown in the table below: 1) Provide a brief explanation as to why ligand binding to proteins must be a reversible process. 2) Calculate the dissociation constant (Kd) for the hormone binding to each of the three proteins.

Explain, in detail, how tyrosine kinase proteins are involved in one signal transduction pathway of your choice. Make sure you describe the complete pathway in which it is involved. Then, describe how you would experimentally demonstrate the requirement of a tyrosine kinase protein in your chosen pathway.
GTP-binding proteins play critical roles in many signal transductions through G proteins. Describe two examples in which G proteins act and compare the role of the G proteins in each case.
Receptor, especially growth factor receptor signaling is deregulated in cancer cells, which results in uncontrolled growth. The alterations responsible for this may be due to a truncated receptor, or change from normal paracrine to autocrine signaling or ligand (growth factor) independent firing or overexpression of a receptor Explain how each of these changes results in excessive signaling by the receptor.
