- added ligand concentration of 10 µM is 5 × 10³ s¹. What is the value of the reverse rate constant k_1 = 1 ×10-4 Incorrect Macmillan Learning You have not correctly calculated the value of the reverse rate constant. To begin, calculate the value of k₁ by dividing the rate of receptor-ligand complex formation (the rate of the forward reaction) by the ligand concentration. k₁ = rate forward [L] Then, calculate the value of the reverse rate constant, k_₁, by multiplying the dissociation constant, Kd, and the forward rate constant, k₁. k_1 = Kak₁In the case of GPCR (G protein coupled receptor) signaling pathways, which of the following statements is INCORRECT? The gamma subunit of the trimeric G protein has a transmembrane domain whereas the alpha and beta subunits are peripheral proteins If G alpha was locked in a GTP bound state, it would be bound to the effector enzyme rather than to the beta and gamma subunits. In some but not all signaling pathways, when the beta and gamma subunits are separated from alpha - the beta/gamma pair can also stimulate the activation of effectorsWhy do we need to identify and determine the function of every single molecule involved in cell signalling?
