Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The differentiation between homotropic effectors and heterotropic effectors is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The enzyme which is able to do the conformational changes if an effector gets attached to it is known as allosteric enzyme. The small molecules that on binding to the enzyme regulate its activity are known as effectors. The effectors increases or decreases the activity of the enzyme.

= 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
Frog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na* channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?
