Chapter 14, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason for the total binding not to be an accurate representation of the total number of cell-surface receptors should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ligand binding assay is an analytic procedure, in which the ligand-receptor binding is the basis of the experiment. By the fluorescence detection method or electrochemical ways, the presence and affinity (extent) of ligand-receptor binding can be determined.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The purpose of performing the experiment in the presence of excess nonradioactive ligand must be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ligand binding assay is an analytic procedure, in which the ligand-receptor binding is the basis of the experiment. By the fluorescence detection method or electrochemical ways, the presence and affinity (extent) of ligand-receptor binding can be determined.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The significance of specific binding attaining a plateau should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ligand binding assay is an analytic procedure in which the ligand-receptor binding is the basis of the experiment. By the fluorescence detection method or electrochemical ways, the presence and affinity (extent) of ligand-receptor binding can be determined.

Need help.    A protein X binds Ligand Y. The kon characterizing this binding is 1 x 106 M-1s-1, koff is 2 x 10-3 M-1s-1. In your in vitro X-Y binding experiment, at what concentration of Ligand Y half of the Protein X would be bound to Y. Assume that the binding is according to the Lock-and-key model
Please help me with this question. PLEase give me the right answer and for number 2 WRITE AT LEAST A PARAGRAPGH and dont copy from internet.
SIGNALS AND TARGETS. Listed below are sample polypeptides/proteins with their signal molecule/peptide. Answer the questions that follow. If you are asked to give the amino acid sequence, provide the sequence using the three-letter names of the amino acids (eg. ser-ala-met).  Catalase with H2N-...KERINGKERIANGEKSAMSKL-COOH What is the name of the specific receptor of this polypeptide? The receptor may also have what alternative function?
