Reghunathan, Saranya Cell Biology SS07 Exam 1 Chapter 15: Localization of Proteins to Membrane-bound Organelles and Compartments A. Specificity of biochemical pathways are due to: a. Specificity... of enzyme substrate interactions b. Macromolecular complexes maintain enzymes and substrates in close proximity c. Membrane bound compartments confine particular pathways to specific regions of the cell (esp. in use in Eukaryotes) i. Each compartment has a unique set of proteins that have been transferred selectively from the cytosol to their specific compartment 1. protein sorting depends signals built in an amino acid (AA) sequence of proteins [Show More]
