Answer:
16.66 %
Explanation:
The receptors that are bound with the ligand can be calculated by the formula as follows:
Kd = [R] [L]/[RL]
Here, Kd is dissociation constant = 1.5 mM
R is free receptor concentration = 10 mM
L is free ligand concentration = 2.5 mM
The values needs to be constitute to find the percentage of receptors that are bound to ligand.
Put all the values
1.5 = 10 × 2.5 / RL or RL = 25 /1.5
So RL = 16.66
Hence 16.66 % of receptor is bound to substrate.
Thus, the answer is 16.66%
