Chem 2r03 - week_1 homework solutions - sept 14, 2007. Week_1 solutions: (1) consider the protein (p) / ligand (l) dissociation equilibrium: pl p + l with a 1 nm dissociation constant (k d) for the complex pl. Imagine that you have a solution with a protein concentration [p] = 100 nm. What will the concentration of the protein/ligand complex ([pl]) be after adding ligand up to a total ligand concentration of 100. Choose one option and explain. a. b. c. d. The correct answer is c. here is the explanation. Since k d = [p][l]/[pl], we know that [p]/[pl] = kd/[l]. We also know that [l], the equilibrium concentration of the free ligand, is about the same as the initial concentration of the ligand (100 m) because the initial concentration of protein is only 100 nm (or 0. 1 m). So [p]/[pl] ~ 10-5 or in other words essentially all the protein is used up to form the pl complex.
