A)involved in phosphorylation
B)cannot be displaced by competition

D)reversible antagonist

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covalent modulators involve the transfer of a chemical group, such as a phosphoryl group, from one molecule to another. Therefore, they are involved in phosphorylation.

Answer: B
 Covalent modulators are not displaced by competition because they form a covalent bond with their target molecule, making it unavailable for other molecules to bind.

Answer: C
 Covalent modulators can bind to proteins away from the active site, affecting the protein's function by causing a conformational change.

Answer: D
 Covalent modulators can be irreversible, meaning they permanently modify their target protein, making them a reversible antagonist.
