Mr PL was administered Drug A that acts on a particular receptor. Unfortunately, it was given in overdose and produced an adverse effect. Drug B is then administered which blocks that receptor. The effect of drug B results in a reduction in the effect of drug A. Comment on if Drug B is acting competitively (reversibly) or non-competitively (irreversibly)? Provide one suitable clinically relevant example of such interaction.

Explain whether the specificity of interaction will be high or low for each given situation. a. The value of KD of the ligand's interaction to the target receptor is very much lower than the value of KD of the ligand's interaction to off-targets. b. The ligand concentration [L] is higher than the KD value of its interaction with the target and the KD value of its interaction to off-targets.

you have been asked to develop a drug that could inhibit an enzyme linked receptor. what are the potential pharmacological targets you could design your drug to interact with. which one should you choose and why
Explain whether the specificity of interaction will be high or low for each given situation. a. The concentration of the ligand's complex to the target receptor equates to the concentration of the ligand's complex to off-targets. b. The target receptor's total concentration is very much higher than the off-target's total concentration.
In the presence of these type(s) of antagonists, antagonism can not be overcome by increasing agonist concentration: A.competitive reversible B.competitive irreversible C.non-competitive
Alcohol affects the central nervous system by enhancing the effect ofGABA at its receptor. GABA binds to GABA receptors and opensligand-gated Cl–channels. However, chronic consumption of alcoholmakes the GABA receptor less sensitive to both alcohol and GABA,which increases alcohol dependence as well as alcohol withdrawalsymptoms, such as anxiety, tremors, and insomnia. Benzodiazepinesenhance the binding of GABA molecules to their receptors and thus aresometimes used to treat people with alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Forsynapses involving GABA, predict the effect of alcohol on the postsynaptic membranes; compare the effect of chronic alcohol consumption onthe postsynaptic membranes in these synapses; and predict the effect ofbenzodiazepine treatment on the degree of polarization of postsynapticmembranes in people who are experiencing alcohol withdrawalsymptoms.

Part A Which of the following statements about pain-relief substances is correct? View Available Hint(s) O Endorphins are synthetic pain-killers. O Met-enkephalin has pain-killing ability because of its structural similarity to morphine. O Many natural pain-killing polypeptides are ideal for medical use. O Receptors of opium derivatives are found in all body cells. Submit
The drug Buckeyium binds to the NMDA receptor at the orthosteric binding site (were glutamate would normally bind). Assume that glycine is already bound, and that magnesium is not blocking the NMDAR ion channel. If the channel does not open as a result of Buckeyium binding than Buckeyium would be considered a
You can choose one or more than one option The dissociation constant (Kd) of a receptor is: BIOCHEMISTRY basic the concentration of a ligand that produces 100% occupancy of the receptor the concentration of a ligand that produces 50% of the maximal effect. the measurement of specificity between ligand and its receptor. the measurement of speed by which a ligand will dissociate from its receptor. the measurement of affinity between a ligand and its receptor and the inverse of the association constant. During an experiment with Drosophila, it was discovered that all females had red eyes. unlike males. A conclusion based on this observation would be: MOLECULAR BIOLOGY basic The gene for eye color is located on the X chromosome. The females are homozygotes The gene for eye color is dominant. The eye color results from multigenic linkage. The eye color phenotype is sex-linked A secondary lysosome: CELL BIOLOGY advanced a lysosome that provides a backup to the primary…
