Question

Which of the following is a correct relation?

(a) Kd [L] = ^[PL] ⁄ [P]

(b) Kd [L] = ^[P] ⁄ [PL]

(c) Kd [L] = [PL] × [P]

(d) Kd [PL] = ^[L] ⁄ [P]

I got this question in homework.

Asked question is from Reversible Binding of a Protein to a Ligand: Oxygen-Binding Proteins topic in section Three Dimensional Structure Of Proteins and Protein Function of Biochemistry

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Kd [L] = ^[PL] ⁄ [P]

Explanation: The term Kd is a dissociation constant

Ka [L] = ^[P] [L] ⁄ [PL].
