Consider the Proteins Ras, Src, Kinesin, and the ATP Synthase

Question

Consider the proteins Ras, Src, kinesin, and the ATP synthase pump. All of them …
A) are allosteric proteins.
B) can have two or more distinct conformations.
C) can bind to ATP (or GTP).
D) can hydrolyze ATP to ADP (or GTP to GDP).
