- 3CLpro is a cysteine protease, which are among the most common proteases in biochemistry, however they are a structurally diverse family of enzymes especially in the organization of the active site amino acids. A group of scientists have reported a potential drug molecule based on a binding study using circular dichroism. They report that the molecule binds to the active site. Can the experiment support the claims, why or why not? Which techniques might be used to support this claim?What is the fractional occupancy of a protein binding site when the ligand concentration (L) =1mM and the ligand equilibrium binding constant at the binding site K10= 10microM. 0.01 B.0.1 C.0.91 D.0.99 none of the listed valuesWhich of the following situations would produce a Hill plot with nH < 1.0? Explain your reasoning in each case.(a) The protein has multiple subunits, each with a single ligand-binding site. Binding of ligand to one site decreases the binding affinity of other sites for the ligand.(b) The protein is a single polypeptide with two ligand-binding sites, each having a different affinity for the ligand.(c) The protein is a single polypeptide with a single ligand-binding site. As purified, the protein preparation is heterogeneous, containing some protein molecules that are partially denatured and thus have a lower binding affinity for the ligand.
