Biological information is processed almost exclusively by -------- interactions - Answer-
ligand biding
, In terms of ligand binding, biochemists prefer to use the dissociation version------------ -
Answer-P.L=P+L
High dissociation constant means ----- - Answer-low ligand affinity
The myo in myoglobin implies - Answer-muscle
Oxygen is poorly soluble in --------. And so organisms us very little spaced capillaries
and arteries to transport o2 to cells - Answer-water
