Question

ADP binds to platelets in order to intiate the activation process. Two binding sites were identified on platelets, one with a Kd of 350 nM and one with a Kd of 7.9 µM. Which of these is the low-affinity binding site? A) The binding site with a Kd of 350 nM is the low affinity site. B) The binding site with a Kd of 7.9 µM is the low affinity site. C) No way to tell

Answer 1

Answer:B) The binding site with a kid of7.9uM is the low affinity site.

Explanation:

The rate at which macro molecules like protein bind together is called affinity. The higher the affinity site the more readily these macro molecules fuses together. 7.9uM is a low affinity value than 359uM.
