In what way do ligand-receptor interactions differ from enzyme-substrate reactions?
A) The ligand signal is not usually metabolized into useful products.
B) Receptor-ligand interactions do not obey the laws of mass action.
C) Inhibitors never bind to the ligand-binding site.
D) Reversibility never occurs in ligand-receptor interactions.
E) Enzyme-substrate reactions and the ligand-receptor interactions do not differ.
