Chapter 9.2, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction

To determine: The similarity between binding of a ligand to its receptor and the binding of a substrate to an enzyme.

Introduction: Ligand and receptors are an important part of the communication system in a cell. Different cellular activities require different signaling molecules called ligands. These ligands bind to their receptors for carrying out the desired process. Enzymes are biological molecules that speed up a biological process. Enzymes bind to their substrates to form the specific products. Both the systems, enzyme – substrate system and the ligand-receptor system are an important part for carrying out different cellular processes.
