Protein A has a binding site for ligand X with a dissociation constant, Ka, of 3.0 × 10-' M. Protein B has a binding site for igand X with a Ka of 4.0 × 10-8 M. Calculate the Ka for each protein. Protein A Ka= M-! Protein B Kª= M-1 Which protein has greater affinity for ligand X? Why? Protein B has greater affinity because it has a lower Ka than Protein A. Protein A has greater affinity because it has a greater Ka than Protein B. Protein A has greater affinity because it has a greater Ka than Protein B. Protein B has greater affinity because it has a lower K than Protein A.

Which is incorrect regarding ligand-protein binding reactions? Select one: O If two ligands can bind to the binding site of the protein, competition for binding will occur. O Phosphorylation of the protein is an example of covalent modulation. O Allosteric modulation of the protein's binding site occurs directly at the binding site itself. O Binding reactions are either electrical or hydrophobic in nature. O Allosteric modulation can alter the affinity of the protein for the ligand.
