Consider the dimerization 2A to A2, with forward rate constant kaand backward rate constant kb. (a) derive the following expressionfor the relaxation time in terms of the total concentration ofprotein [A]tot = [A] + 2[A2]: (1/tau^2) = kb^2 + 8kakb[A]tot
(b) describe the computational procedures that lead to thedetermination of the rate constants ka and kb from measurements oftau for different values of [A]tot
(c) use the data provided below and the procedure you outlined inpart b to calculate the rate constants ka and kb, and theequilibrium constant K for formation of hydrogen-bonded dimers of2-pyridone:
[A]tot 0.500 0.352 0.251 0.151 0.101
tau 2.3 2.7 3.3 4.0 5.3
