Question
A protein (P) binds a ligand (L) to form a complex (PL).
a. Draw the equilibrium expression.
b. Write the dissociation constant Ka, using [P], [L] or [PL], or some of them.
c. Write the fraction bound of the ligand to the protein 0, using [P]. [L] or [PL], or some of them.
d. From b and c, derive the equation of the fraction bound e in terms of [L] and Ka. Show the process.
e. Sketch a hypothetical binding curve. Then, circle
the Ka value. Explain why you chose this (L].
