Which of the following is not a reason for the selectivity of receptors towards messengers?(a) Shape of binding site(b) Structure(c) Amino acid composition(d) Location in the membraneI got this question in class test.This intriguing question comes from Drug-Target Interaction in chapter Chemistry in Everyday Life of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (d) Location in the membrane

For EXPLANATION I would say: There are lots of different types of receptors in the BODY at different locations. They interact with different kinds of chemical messengers. Their selectivity for ONE messenger over the other is because of the difference in their binding sites, structure and composition of AMINO ACIDS.
