True or False The binding affinity between a peptide agonist

True or False. The binding affinity between a peptide agonist and its specific G protein coupled receptor involves which types of chemical binds? EXPLAIN THOROUGHLY.

Solution

A ligand that can bind to receptor, change the receptor structure by conformation and causes a physical response is calledthe Agonist. Agonist bind to the receptor by non covalent reversible interactions that include Ionic interactions: Also called Electro Static Interactions or Salt bridge Interactions formed between ionized atoms or molecules. Hydrogen interactions: Formed between partially charged atoms or molecules. Vandervaal interactions: Formed between temporarily charged atoms or molecules. Hydrophobic forces
