Problem:
Assume that the binding of one molecule of epinephrine to a seven-transmembrane helix (7TM) receptor (also called the G protein-coupled receptor, or GPCR) results in the activation of 170 G? subunits. In addition, suppose that each activated adenylyl cyclase catalyzes the conversion of 20 ATP molecules to cAMP per second. (Assume that each G protein activates a single unique adenylyl cyclase.)
Required:
Question 1: Calculate the number of moles of cAMP that are produced per second.
