"If I had even one new fact, I would lock it in a vault until I could use it [in a column or on television].
This bias normally influences both the orientation and conformation of the ligand in the active site, which usually represents a local minimum conformation [ 14 ] . More importantly, the lock and key concepts used to evaluate enzyme-substrate binding, in reality, refer to flexible locks and keys that are both in constant dynamic (thermal) motion [ 15 ] . For example, an analysis of conformational changes upon complex formation for a representative set of 39 pairs of ligand-free and ligand-bound structures showed that 50% of these proteins undergo substantial main-chain and side chain conformational changes when the ligand is bound [ 15 ] .
For example, statins have been proposed to cause co-localization of α-secretase and APP within lipid rafts [15,33]; statins might also induce modification of the structure and activity of a protein in the plasma membrane α-secretase complex, perhaps in an action similar to how statins bind and “lock” cell-surface integrins [34].
If the gun goes off from the half-cock position, the lock is defective.
To over-simplify the process, when the lock is moved to full cock, the trigger, a simple lever, moves another lever, the sear , out of the notch in a semi-circular internal lock part to which the hammer is connected.
