Question
Chapter 7.2, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The dissociation constant (KD) and the information conveyed by it about the production of a cellular response.
Introduction:
Dissociation constant refers to the quantity that is expressing the extent to which a certain substance present in the solution is the broken into ions. It is equal to the product of the concentrations of the individual ions divided by the total concentration of the undissociated molecule.
