What does the protein ligand association equilibrium constant (Ka) measure?
Given the rate constants ka = 2 x 10^6 M^-1s^-1 and kd = 5 x 10^-3 s^-1, calculate the protein ligand association equilibrium constant (Ka).
How are the protein ligand association equilibrium constant (Ka) and dissociation equilibrium constant (Kd) related?
What are the units of the protein ligand association equilibrium constant (Ka)?
If Ka is 10 M^-1, what is the value of Kd?
If a protein has a dissociation equilibrium constant (Kd) of 10^-9 M, what does this suggest about its affinity for the ligand?
Which statement best explains the similarity between Kd and Km?
