MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 Lab results from a protein analysis reveal its complete structure, and that it catalyzes the breakdown of a larger substrate. Moreover, there are two binding sites (one for the large substrate, and one for a small regulatory molecule). Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which this protein works?
    		 

    A

    		 The protein is likely structural, and is involved in cell-to-cell adhesion

    B

    		 The protein is likely an enzyme that works through competitive inhibition

    C

    		 The protein is likely an enzyme that works through allosteric regulation

    D

    		 The protein is likely a membrane transport protein for ions
