MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Lab results from a protein analysis reveal its complete structure, and that it catalyzes the breakdown of a larger substrate. Moreover, there are two binding sites (one for the large substrate, and one for a small regulatory molecule). Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which this protein works?

     

    A

    The protein is likely structural, and is involved in cell-to-cell adhesion

    B

    The protein is likely an enzyme that works through competitive inhibition

    C

    The protein is likely an enzyme that works through allosteric regulation

    D

    The protein is likely a membrane transport protein for ions
