Calcium ions bind to the SERCA Ca^2+ -ATPase, which has two identical calcium sites, in two stages with apparent equilibrium constants K1=7×105^M^−1 and K2=2×10^6M^−1
A. Calculate K
B. Calculate τ.
C. Is the binding positively or negatively cooperative? (pick one below)
- The binding is negatively cooperative
- The binding is positively cooperative.
- The binding could be both positively and negatively cooperative.
- The binding is neither positively nor negatively cooperative.
1) K = K1K2 = (7*10^5)(2*10^6) = 14 *10^11 M-2
2) log() = -logK = -log
(14*10^11)
= 7.14*10^-13
3) since K2>K1, the binding is positively cooperative

5. When all of the sample to be collected has left the
column, will the drop of solution coming off the tip of the column
be acidic, basic or neutral?
6. How many H+ ions would be displaced from the ion
exchange column by 1 Cu2+ ion?
7. Binding sites on the ion exchange resin are saturated
with which ion before the sample solution is added?
