Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A solution of epinephrine with $\beta -$ adrengenic receptor whether prefers to stay bound or free has to be determined where K value for the releasing of epinephrine from receptor is $5\times {10}^{-6}$.

Concept Introduction:

Equilibrium constant: at equilibrium the ratio of products to reactants (each raised to the power corresponding to its stoichiometric coefficient) has a constant value, K.

For a general reaction, $\text{aA+bB }\underset{}{\overset{}{\rightleftharpoons }}\text{ cC+dD}$

$\text{Equilibrium}\text{constant}\text{K}\text{=}\frac{{\left[\text{C}\right]}^{\text{c}}{\left[\text{D}\right]}^{\text{d}}}{{\left[\text{A}\right]}^{\text{a}}{\left[\text{B}\right]}^{\text{b}}}$

Epinephrine: Epinephrine is a hormone which is also called adrenaline. It is released when a person have to respond immediately during a danger and hence is called fight-or-flight hormone. It increases the blood pressure, glucose level and heart rate of the body.
