The drug molecules bind the protein in a 1:1 ratio to form a drug-protein complex. The protein concentration in aqueous solution

at 25 ∘C is 1.60×10−6 M . Drug A is introduced into the protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00×10−6M. Drug B is introduced into a separate, identical protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00×10−6M. At equilibrium, the drug A-protein solution has an A-protein complex concentration of 1.00×10−6M, and the drug B solution has a B-protein complex concentration of 1.40×10−6M.a. Calculate the Kc value for the A-protein binding reaction.b. Calculate the Kc value for the B-protein binding reaction.c. Assuming that the drug that binds more strongly will be more effective, which drug is the better choice for further research?

Answer:

a. kc = 1,67x10⁶

b. kc = 1,17x10⁷

c. Drug B is the better choice.

Explanation:

The bind of drug-protein is described as:

Protein + Drug ⇄ Drug-protein

Where kc is:

kc = [Drug-protein] / [Protein] [Drug] <em>(1)</em>

a. For A, the equilibrium concentration of each specie is:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug-protein]: x = <em>1,00x10⁻⁶M </em>

<em>-Where x is reaction coordinate-</em>

Thus:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - 1,00x10⁻⁶M = <em>0,60x10⁻⁶M</em>

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - 1,00x10⁻⁶M = <em>1,00x10⁻⁶M</em>

Replacing in (1):

kc = [1,00x10⁻⁶] / [1,00x10⁻⁶] [0,60x10⁻⁶]

<em>kc = 1,67x10⁶</em>

<em />

b. For B:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug-protein]: x = <em>1,40x10⁻⁶M </em>

<em>-Where x is reaction coordinate-</em>

Thus:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - 1,40x10⁻⁶M = <em>0,20x10⁻⁶M</em>

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - 1,40x10⁻⁶M = <em>0,60x10⁻⁶M</em>

Replacing in (1):

kc = [1,40x10⁻⁶] / [0,20x10⁻⁶] [0,60x10⁻⁶]

<em>kc = 1,17x10⁷</em>

<em />

c. The drug with the bigger kc will be the more effective because will be the drug that binds more strongly with the protein. Thus, <em>drug B is the better choice.</em>

I hope it helps!

What is generally true about the compressibility of solids?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compressibility means the ability to reduce or compress in size.

In solids, molecules are held together by strong force of attraction. Therefore, it requires very high force or energy to break the bond between the molecules of a solid.

As a result, compressibility of solids is low.

Whereas a hot ionized gas which contains same number of both positive or negatively charged electrons is known as plasma. Being a gas, molecules of plasma are not held by strong force of attractions.

Hence, plasma is compressible as compared to solids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement compressibility of solids is lower than the compressibility of plasmas and gases is true.

What volume of a 2.10 M NaCl solution is
cluponka [151]

Answer:

146.3g NaCl (mol NaCl/58.44g NaCl) = 2.50 mol NaCl

1.5M NaCl = 1.5 mol NaCl / 1 L = 2.5 mol NaCl / x L, solve for x

x L = 2.5 mol NaCl / 1.5 mol NaCl = 1.66 L

It gives the answer and all the working.

To put it another way:

Dividing the amount required by the molar mass

we quickly see that 2.5 moles are required.

One litre of 1.5 molar solution gives 1.5 moles

we need a further mole, which is 2/3 of 1.5 so 2/3 of a litre.
