Question

If a protein has a dissociation equilibrium constant (Kd) of 10^-9 M, what does this suggest about its affinity for the ligand?

Accepted Answer

The protein has a very high affinity for the ligand.

Answer

The protein binds to the ligand at a rate of 10^-9 M/s.

Answer

The protein has a very low affinity for the ligand.
