Document Summary

Mbb222 exam vocab definitions: fraction occupancy and the standard free energy of a reaction. When a ligand binds to a single binding site on a protein and all of the proteins are bound to ligand with high ligand concentrations, increasing the ligand concentration even further will not increase protein binding. Saturable binding is when a specific proteins availability is limited. This binding interaction is referred to as saturable. If the binding isotherm does not saturate with increasing ligand concentration, this usually indicates that the ligand is binding to things other than the protein. Saturated = when all the protein molecules have a ligand bound to them. Half saturated = when half the protein molecules have a ligand bound to them. When this occurs, the value of [ligand] = kd . Fractional saturation / occupancy / occupancy probability ( f or theta, ) The extent to which the binding sites on a protein are filled with a ligand.
