What is the molecule called that can bind to a receptor protein?
The molecule that can bind to a receptor protein is called a ligand.
When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein the receptor protein may change the?
shape.
What binds to a signal molecule enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule?
receptor proteins bind to signal molecules
what is a biomolecular structure?
Biomolecular structure is the intricate folded, three-dimensional shape that is formed by a molecule of protein, DNA, or RNA, and that is important to its function.
When a receptor protein in a cell membrane acts as a enzyme the receptor protein does what?
When a receptor protein acts as an enzyme, the receptor protein activates a second messenger that acts as a signal molecule within the cell. Resources: HOLT Biology Textbook - 9th grade edition Chapter 4, Cells and Their Environment.
When a hormone molecule binds to a specific protein on the plasma membrane the protein it binds to is called?
... a receptor protein.
A fully functional molecule of hemoglobin is what kind of protein structure?
The structure of the hemoglobin in a molecule is the quaternary structure.
Relaying a message from a receptor protein to a molecule that performs a specific function within a cell is called?
Signal Transduction
What is a channel linked receptor?
A channel linked receptor transduces functions of the same protein molecule. An example of a channel linked receptor are neurotransmitters in the brain.
What does the function of each protein molecule depend on?
The function of each protein molecule depends on its specific sequence of amino acids, as well as its three-dimensional structure. These factors determine how the protein interacts with other molecules and what biological activities it can perform. The function can also be influenced by factors such as post-translational modifications and the protein's cellular location.
Epinephrine acts as a signal molecule that attaches to proteins?
G-protein-linked receptor
Which is a correct association of protein types?
Receptor proteins- have a binding site for a specific molecule
