The interactions of ligands with protein,

Question

The interactions of ligands with protein, (A) usually result in the activation of the proteins (B) are relatively rare in biological systems (C) are usually irreversible (D) are usually transient

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The ligand-protein binding refers to the induced fit theory. The structural adaptations occur when a ligand binds to a protein involving a conformational change in the protein. This change alters the binding site to be more complementary to the ligand.
