How does the interaction between a carrier protein and the substance it transports resemble the interaction between an enzyme and its substrate?

When a carrier protein binds with a substance it changes it shape during the transport. When an enzyme is present with a substrate the enzyme then like a carrier protein will change its shape.

∙ 13y agoTransport proteins are like enzymes because:
- they combine specifically with a particular substance, with which they have a complementary shape so that binding is specific; enzymes bind to their substrate, transport proteins combine with the transported molecule.
- they can be saturated; once the concentration of the transported molecule exceeds the number of available transport proteins the maximum rate of transport is achieved ie it is saturated; in enzymes increasing the concentration of the substrate eventually leads to saturation of the binding sites (active sites) of the enzyme molecules.

Does the active site of an enzyme have a shape that is specfic for its given substrate?
Yes all enzymes have an active site where substance are temporarily bound. All enzymes have shape that may change during catalysis. The active site of an enzyme orients its substrate molecules, thereby promoting interaction of their reactive parts.
A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that?
A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that does not resemble the substrate structure. A compound that binds to the surface of an enzyme, and changes its shape so that a substrate cannot enter the active site is called a noncompetitive inhibitor.
What does a competitive inhibitor bind to?
A competitive inhibitor is a molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme, to prevent substrates entering the active site and therefore lowering the rate of reaction. Some drugs act as competitive inhibitors to control reactions in the body, and the body also releases competitive inhibitors as a means of self control. But remember that the amount of product formed is still remain the same, only the time taken increased.
What alga does a trypanosome superficially resemble?

What company or place does a mitochondria resemble in cell city?
The mitochondria would most closely resemble a power plant for a city as the mitochondria is where the energy for a cell is created.
How does the interaction between a carrier protein and the substance it transport resemble the interaction between an enzyme and it's substrate?
carrier protein transports across the cell membrane and Its subtances interact with each other.
How does the interaction between the carrier proteins and the substances transports resemble the interaction between and enzyme and its substrate?
Both involve the binding of a specific substance to a particular kind of protein and a change in shape of the protein as the process (transport or chemical reaction) proceeds. After the process is completed, the protein is unchanged.
