The interaction and docking of two molecules is the process by which chemical reactions occur on a biological level. One molecule either inserts itself or closely associates itself with another, and the resulting close association of the two molecules facilitates a particular biological function or cascade of events. For example, when long chains of amino acids, or polyproteins, are inserted into a cleft of HIV-1 Protease, the protein cleaves the polyprotein chain into individual components, which then are assembled to form the HIV virus.
Based on the passage, which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with?
A.HIV-1 protease is a wonderful molecule
B.Docking always involves proteins or ligands
C.Viruses are often synthesized in laboratories
D.Cascades of biological events occur only when proteins dock
E.In order for two molecules to dock, several specific events must occur
According to the passage, which of the following is most likely the function of the HIV-1 Protease?
A.To dock to three molecules
B.To interact with all other molecules
C.To bind to four molecules
D.To undergo a 3-dimensional transitions
E.To cleave polyproteins
According to the passage, the author would agree with which of the following statements?
A.In order to understand a biological chemical reaction, you should not consider interactions of molecules.
B.In order to discover new drugs, we need to only understand molecular docking mechanisms.
C.Proteins or ligands rarely associate.
D.A molecule must insert itself into another molecule, so that a chemical reaction can occur.
E.Chemical reactions that involve two biomolecules often include docking and physical interaction of the two molecules.
