- Ligand binding and response. The following question involves the ligand binding to a receptor and the receptor's response to that ligand. What ligand concentration would be required for a full agonist with a KD of 8 nM to achieve a response of 0.75?arrow_forwardInsulin-dependent diabetes is often accompanied by hypertriglyceridemia, which is an excess blood level of triacylglycerols in the form of very low density lipoproteins. Suggest a biochemical explanation.arrow_forwardPlease answer I will give you like Dwarfism was found to be a result of the overproduction of Enzyme X that deactivates the growth hormone. Initial fractionation using Sephadex G-100, a molecular sieve, was done, followed by subsequent purification steps until a pure form of Enzyme X was obtained. Part of the study on Enzyme X was the determination of its primary structure. Because of its big size, Enzyme X was cut into smaller peptides by treatment of enzymes and cyanogen bromide. One of the fragments was hydrolyzed and the amino acid components were separated by ion-exchange chromatography and identified. The amino acids were found to be: arg, asp, ile, lys, met, and tyr. The sequence was determined as follows: Treatment with DNFB gave a mixture of amino acids and DNP-lys Treatment with trypsin gave an amino acid, a dipeptide and a tripeptide ; the tripeptide tested positive with the Sakaguchi test Treatment with CNBr gave two tripeptides Treatment with chymotrypsin gave a…arrow_forward
