Answer:

The answer will be Ligand A with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 10^{-9}M

Explanation:

When the dissociation constant in the ligand is small (in order of nano) ( 10^{-9}) it will be more tied. Due to a dissociation constant measures how much a ligand can be able to be separated from the protein so if the number is small it means that the ligand is highly binded to the protein.

On the other hand, the occupancy percentage of the ligand does not imply binding. Conversely, a High-affinity ligand binding with the proteins implies that a relatively low concentration of a ligand is adequate to occupy the maximum ligand-binding site.

Imagine a drop of water in oil. If you add surfactant, explain how the surfactant molecules organize themselves around the water
Oduvanchick [21]
If you add a surfactant in water-oil mixture, surfactant molecules would form micelles wherein the hydrophobic end of the surfactant faces inside the micelle while the hydrophilic end faces the water molecules. Inside these micelles oil particles are attached.

Calculate the molarity of 0.289 moles of FeC13 dissolved in 120 ml of solution
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

2.41 M

Explanation:

The molarity is the moles of FeCl3 over the liters of solution. Since you're given mL you need to change it to L which is 0.12 L. 0.289 divided by 0.12 is your answer
