You obtain two different preparations of XFF,one of which contains the receptors for XFF.You perform a binding assay and obtain a standard curve.Based upon this data,what value would reflect the affinity of the receptor for the ligand? (Assume a 1 XFF-to-1 receptor interaction.) A)Kd B)Bmax C)Kd - Bmax D)1/B_max E)The affinity cannot be detertmined from the information available

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The affinity of the receptor for the ligand can be quantified by Kd, which is the dissociation constant. The lower Kd value indicates high affinity, and the higher Kd value indicates low affinity. Therefore, by obtaining a standard curve through a binding assay, we can determine the Kd value, which reflects the affinity of the receptor for the ligand. Other options are not appropriate measures of affinity.
