Units
Units:
[A] " [B] {M} " {M}
KD = {M} =
[AB] {M}
(Conversely, equilibrium binding constant, KB, is defined as:
! [AB] ! {M}
KB = {M "1} = )
[A] " [B] {M} # {M}
! Rate constants:

koff: {s-1}

How to measure KD ?
[AB] [B]
! Introducing [A]Total=[A]+[AB]: =
[A]Total KD + [B]
Experimental considerations
!
No need to measure [B],

Logarithmic versus linear display
kon
DNA + R koff
DNA-R
KD≈10-10 M for operator DNA (specific binding)
KD≈10-4 M for non-operator DNA (non-specific binding)

Non-cooperative versus cooperative
B Not Cooperative

Protein K
00B + B 0BB
B Cooperative

Rate constant and order of reaction
J = k[A]n
d[A]
We saw that J = " , so k will have:
dt
Per second (s-1) as unit for 1st order reaction,
Per molar per second (M-1s-1) as units for 2nd order reaction

It takes 0.1 seconds to switch off gene expression in E.coli after
lactose depletion. What is kon?
d
[R " DNA] # kon [R][DNA]
dt
With ~10 repressors per E.coli and [DNA]≈10-9 M (1 operator sequence in 1 µm3 cell),
kon needs to be at least 109 M-1s-1 (is actually measured to be 1010 M-1s-1)
!
How come this is much faster than diffusion limit???
