Which of the following features would be a requirement for a receptor that exhibits ligand-mediated dimerization?
A)The ligand has only one binding site for receptors.
B)The ligand has two binding sites for receptors.
C)The receptor must have a phenylalanine residue in a specific location.
D)The receptor must have a molecular weight of 50,000 daltons.
E)Ligand binding causes a conformational shift that reveals a binding site for another receptor.
