Chapter 18, Problem 20RQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The mechanism in which blocking the activity of the phosphodiesterase enzyme will affect the cell that responds to hormonal simulation by cAMP second messenger system.
Concept introduction:
Phosphodiesterase is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking the phosphodiester bond. There are many different types of phosphodiesterases. For example: RNases, DNases, sphingomyelin, restriction endonucleases and so on. They are important regulators for the signal transduction mediated by the secondary messenger molecules.

The antagonist can bind covalently while ACTH binds non-covalently O b. The antagonist is only partially complimentary to the binding pocket of MC2R O The antagonist binds to ACTH and blocks it from binding to the receptor properly O d.
