Consider the dissociation reaction for a protein-ligand complex: P•L P + L A. Sketch a binding curve (fractional saturation 0 vs. ligand concentration [L]) for this protein-ligand complex (ligand A). Show where on that curve you could obtain the dissociation equilibrium constant Ka for the reaction. B. Now sketch on the same axes a 0 vs. [L] plot for a different ligand (B) that binds more weakly than the first ligand. C. Does the weaker binding ligand have a higher, or lower, Ka than the tighter binding ligand?

12 mM of protein A is combined with 6 mM of ligand X in water. After the protein-ligand complex binding reaches equilibrium, you measure that the free ligand concentration is 3 mM and the concentration of protein-ligand complex is 3 mM. What is the Kd for protein A? Although they would be in mM, do not include units in your answer, only the number as a whole integer.
Give the general Adiar equation for the binding of a ligand to a dimeric protein. Explain further what your understanding is of the terms "no-, positive-, and negative cooperativity” and graphically present the relationship between Ȳ and [S] for each of these cases. Also, give the relationship between the constants Kb1 and Kb2 in each case.

Koshland, Nemethy and Filmer, proposed a model for the binding of a ligand to a dimeric protein, where the following interaction constants were introduced: KTT: KRT, KRR. Give the relationships between these constants as well as Kb1 and Kb2 during no cooperativity, positive homotropic cooperativity and negative homotropic cooperativity.
Which 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.
Which of the following must be true based on the data below for ligand L binding to protein A and to protein B? Choice 1 of 4:Protein A binds at least 2 molecules of ligand L. Choice 2 of 4:The Kd for ligand binding to B is approximately 4 micromolar. Choice 3 of 4:When exposed to ligand L, protein A reaches maximal binding faster than does protein B. Choice 4 of 4:Protein B must adopt at least 2 different conformations with different binding affinities.

Please explain so I can solve on my own :) (How does changing concentration of the receptor in a ligand-receptor binding experiment affect the dissociation constant?)
the number of low affinity binding sites occupied by a ligand at 100% saturation is greater than the number of high affinity binding sites occupied by a ligand at 100% saturation true or false?
