Assume that the concentration of the ligand is much greater than the concentration of the protein. When ligand Y is present at a concentration of 2 x 10-6 M, 50% of the binding sites on the molecules of protein X are found to be occupied. If the concentration of the ligand is increased to 3 x 10-6 M, what fraction of the binding sites will be occupied?
Please explain the steps to solve this problem.

Usually a protein-binding curve is a hyperbolic function, with theta on the y-axis and [total ligand] on the x-axis. We can only assume that [Free L]=[L total] when the ligand is in excess of the protein. For example the [protein] would be 0.001 nM and you start adding ligand in .05nm increments. But what would the binding curve above look like if the [receptor]=1 nM: the ligand concentration is no longer in excess of the protein concentration? Would you still...

B) The K is independent of such conditions as salt concentration and pH. C) The larger the K. (association constant), the weaker the affinity. D) The larger the K. the faster is the binding. E) The larger the K, the smaller the K. (dissociation constant) 42. The ability of O, to...

Please help! Ligand X forms a complex with both cobalt and copper, cach of which has a maximum absorbance at 510 nm and 645 nm, respectively. A 0.217 g sample containing cobalt and copper was dissolved and diluted to a volume of 100.0 mL. A solution containing ligand X was added to a 50.0 mL aliquot of the sample solution and diluted to a final volume of 100.0 mL. The measured absorbance of the unknown solution was 0.493 at 510...
Question 1 (1 point) Vasoconstriction occurs when epinephrine (adrenaline) binds to the a-adrenergic receptor on vascular smooth muscle cells. One way to treat high blood pressure is to administer competitive inhibitors that bind to this receptor. The Kd for binding of epinephrine to this receptor is ~UM. Based on the measured affinity (Kd) of the following drugs for the a-adrenergic receptor, which might be good candidates for high blood pressure medication? Drug A: Kd = 0.6 M; Drug B: Kd...
32. Study the signaling pathway illustrated below, which involves two different receptors. Assume that a protein is active only when it is activated, but not inhibited, by its upstream signaling molecules. Activation and inhibition are indicated by normal and blunt arrows, respectively. Assume that the transcription regulator can be activated by either the binding protein or the kinase that are immediately upstream of the transcription factor. Under which of the following conditions will the expression of target:gene "X" be induced?...
