Homework Statement
The binding of a ligand B to a protein is studied. The protein concentration it 10^-3 M. The amounts bound,b, for each added is given as the following:
(M) (b)(M)
.001 5*10^-6
.002 3.3*10^-3
.005 3.78*10^-3
.007 4.72*10^-3
.01 4.95*10^-3
.02 5*10^-3
.05 5*10^-3
Find if it is cooperative, the number of binding sites, and K_d
Homework Equations
The hills equation can be expressed as log Y/(1-Y) =n log [A] - log K_d
The Attempt at a Solution
So the y intercept is - log K_d and the slope is n when you plot the left side in respect to log [A]. Y is the fractions filled, so I think it would be (b)/(5*10^-3). But, plotting the graph.. it seems a little screwy.. the plot goes from slope of 10.9 to .5 then to ~5.. The graph is shown here.
