An antibody (Ab) can bind to its antigen binding site (B) with a high affinity (large negative AG°). The antibody and the antigen are mixed at low concentrations and allowed to reach equilibrium. The concentrations measured are [Ab] = 1 nM, [B] = 40 nM, and [Ab-B] = 30 nM, for the equilibrium Ab +B= Ab-B. A. What is the equilibrium constant (association constant), Ka, in M1? B. What is Kd = 1/Ka in nM? C. What is AG° in kgT/molecule? Use the equation AG° = –kgTln(Ka) = kgTln(Ka)

Consider the quilibrium reaction between X and Y, as shown below: X=Y AG The reaction is started with 10 mmol of X; no Y is initially present. After 48 hours, analysis reveals the presence of 10 mmol of X and 0 mmol of Y. Which is the most likely explanation? = −1 - 45 kJ mol X and Y have reached equilibrium concentrations. An enzyme has shifted the equilibrium toward X. Formation of Y is kinetically slow; equilibrium has not been reached by 48 hours. Formation of Y is thermodynamically unfavorable. Two of the above explanations are reasonable.
Consider a receptor (R) that binds two ligands (L & M ) in a sequential fashion. For example, ligand "L" must be present before ligand "M" can bind. In dissociation reactions, it would look like this. R•L•M R•L + M with equilibrium constant Kam R•L OR+L with equilibrium constant Ka a. Derive an equation that relates the fraction [R•L•M]/[R]tot to the concentrations of free L and free M. b. In terms of the dissociation constant, Kam, what concentration of ligand "M" will lead to 50% of the receptor existing in the R•L•M state when [L] = 10 x Ka?
