Cooperative Binding

Question 1

What happens in Cooperative Binding?

Answer 1

Some proteins can bind to more than one substrate

Question 2

Substrate binding changes

Answer 2

Substrate affinity

Question 3

Positive Binding occurs when

Answer 3

Substrate binding increases enzyme’s affinity for subsequent substrate

Question 4

Negative Binding occurs when

Answer 4

Substrate binding decreases enzyme’s affinity for subsequent substrate

Question 5

Non-Cooperative Binding occurs when

Answer 5

Substrate binding does not influence the enzyme’s affinity for subsequent substrate

Question 6

Cooperative binding effects are only seen after

Answer 6

Substrate has bound to enzyme
