Which of the following describes the relationship between the straight chain forms of D-glucose and D-galactose, given that they are non-cyclic molecules that differ only in stereochemical configuration at the fourth carbon?

They are meso-compounds

They are epimers

They are anomers

Isomaltose is a 2 alpha-glucose units linked by

Alpha-1 ,6- glucosidic

Alpha-1,2

Beta- 1,4-galactosidic

Alpha-1,4- glucosidic linkage

The chemical forces that cause a substance to bind its receptor refer to a drug's:

Potency

Efficiency

Affinity

Therapeutic index

A laboratory is conducting a study to assess the safety, efficacy, and potency of a group of drugs before allowing the agents to proceed to clinical trials. Figure A shows the dose-response curves for four different drugs from the same class of medications (Drugs A, B, C, & D). Which of the following is true regarding these medications?

Drug A has greater efficacy than Drug D

Drug D has greater efficacy than Drug A

Drug A has greater potency than Drug D

Drug D has greater potency than Drug A

All four drugs (A,B,C,D) have equal potencies

Drug X has greater biologic activity per dosing equivalent and is thus more potent than drug Y or Z.

Drugs X and Z have equal efficacy

Drug Y is more potent than drug Z, but its maximal efficacy is lower.

All the above

Which of the following is NOT an accurate description of a relationship between agonist and antagonist?

(a) For a given receptor, the potency of an antagonist is always less than the potency of a ligand

(b) Antagonists do not always inhibit binding of agonist to receptor

(c) Competitive reversible antagonists cause a shift of the agonist’s concentration response curve to the right without affecting the maximal response

(d) Competitive irreversible antagonists shift the agonist’s concentration response curve to the right and depress the maximal response

Which of the following is an intracellular messenger associated with activation of Gprotein-coupled receptors?

CAMP

Tyrosine kinase

K channel

All the above
