Question

CaM kinase II acts as molecular memory because:

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

It is constitutively active It decodes Ca²⁺ pulse frequency Correct It does not autophosphorylate It is independent of Ca²⁺

Explanation

It decodes Ca²⁺ pulse frequency, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.
