Which Statement Does NOT Describe Characteristics of the Protein Inhibitor

Question

Which statement does NOT describe characteristics of the protein inhibitor IF1?
A) This protein is relatively small (<100 amino acids).
B) This protein has very little ordered structure at pH 7.0.
C) This protein will bind to the FOportion of ATP synthase.
D) This protein functions as a dimer when it is inhibiting ATP synthesis.
E) This protein inhibits ATP hydrolysis by ATP synthase.

Accepted Answer

The statement "This protein will bind to the F_O portion of ATP synthase" is the only statement that describes a specific characteristic of the inhibitor, while the other statements describe general characteristics of protein inhibitors or specific characteristics that are not unique to IF₁.
