Answer:

To determine the effect of toxin binding, you perform a Competitive Binding Experiment

Explanation:

Competitive binding experiments are very relevant when matters relating to cellular and or molecular toxicity are concerned.

They are used to determine the binding of a single concentration of labeled ligand in the presence of various concentrations of unlabeled ligand.

They are important because:

1. Validate a direct binding assay

2. Confirm whether or not a drug binds to the receptor

3. determine and explore how low-affinity drugs and receptors interact and it's resultant effects

Frederick Griffith made a scientific discovery in 1928. Which best describes the knowledge about genetics before 1928?
zubka84 [21]
Frederick Griffith's discovery on the theory of genetics is credited to his experiment on mice. He subjected them to different strains of pneumonia bacteria. He concluded that there is an unidentified force that leads to the formation of different strains from what the mice were subjected to. This leads to the discovery of DNA, the carrier of traits. Scientist before did not know how the trait is passed on not until Griffith's experiment.
