Question

Question 7 -relate molecular structure to function 0 NH2 Morphine is shown above to the left, and natural endorphin is shown above on the right Both molecules bind to and activate the same protein receptor, thereby inhibiting t the transmission of pain signals Part 1 (2 points). I circled the part of the morphine that binds to the protein receptor -your job is to circle the part of natural endorphin that binds to the same receptor, and then explain your reasoning below (1 sentence is adequate) Part 2 (2 points). What type of biomolecule is endorphin: vitamin, lipid, carbohydrate, protein, nucleic acid, or none of these?

Explanation / Answer

part1- Being receptor is common for endorphin and morphine; and morphine binds with OH functional group. Hence endorphin also binds with receptor with OH functional group containig region

part 2- endorphin is a protein (also known as neuropeptide)

PART1:cis-6-dodecenoicacid is represented in chemical structure

part2: a - it contains absolute 0 gm

part3- it is monunsaturated acid

part4- it is found primarily in cyotplasm and plasma membrane, it is also an intermediate of fatty acid oxidation.
