What activates a G protein?
G protein is activated when a ligand (such as a hormone or neurotransmitter) binds to a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) on the cell membrane, causing a conformational change. This change allows GTP to bind to the G protein, replacing GDP, and activating the G protein to carry out downstream signaling cascades.
Why are protein digestive enzymes produced and released in an inactive form?
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
