Based on the equation below, which of the following would be true when [Ligand] = Kd?a) All of the receptors will be bound by ligand.b) The amount of free ligand will equal the amount of ligand-receptor complex.c) The amount of free ligand will equal the amount of free receptor.d) The amount of free receptor will equal the amount of ligand-receptor complex.

Based on the equation below which of the following would be true when Ligand Kda All of the receptors will be bound by ligandb The amount of free ligand will eq class=

Respuesta :

Kd stands for ligand concentration at which receptor is half-saturated with ligand or half of the receptors bound.

If in the case that [ligand] has the same Kd, then I think it means the amount of free ligand is the same amount of the receptors with ligand.

ANSWER:

b) The amount of free ligand will equal the amount of ligand-receptor complex.
