Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar by binding to its receptor, insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. How does insulin’s behavior differ from steroid hormone signaling, and what can you infer about its structure?
What is the difference between a G protein and a receptor tyrosine kinase? Give an example of a hormone that uses each.
One such laboratory study investigated the binding of a hormone to three different receptor proteins in the cell membrane. The data collected are shown in the table below 1) Provide a brief explanation as to why ligand binding toproteins must be a reversible process.  2)  Calculate the dissociation constant (Kd) for the hormone binding to each of the three proteins.
