Chapter 6, Problem 16TYU
Summary Introduction

To determine: What would be the difficulties of finding cancer drugs that works by inhibiting tyrosine kinase given that similar kinases also function in normal cells.

Introduction: Enzyme-linked receptor is a transmembrane protein with a binding site for signaling molecule outside the cell and an enzyme component inside the cell. An example of enzyme-linked receptor is tyrosine kinase. On binding of ligands with the enzyme-linked receptors, receptor protein comes close together in the plasma membrane and forms dimer which initiates activation of downstream molecules and causes cellular response.

Summary Introduction

To suggest: Whether it could be possible to develop such new medication through government-sponsored research. Why or why not.

The following figure is from Caterina et al. The capsaicin receptor: a heat activated ion channel in the pain pathway. Nature, 1997. Black boxes indicate capsaicin, white circles indicate resinferatoxin. You are a chef in a fancy new science-themed restaurant. You have a recipe that calls for 1 teaspoon of resinferatoxin, but you feel uncomfortable serving foods with "toxins" in them. How much capsaicin could you substitute instead?
