Three membrane receptor proteins bind tightly to a hormone. Based on the data in the table below, (a) what is the $K_{\mathrm{d}}$ for hormone binding by protein $2 ?$ (Include appropriate units.) (b) Which of these proteins binds most tightly to this hormone? (TABLE CANNOT COPY)
The circulating molarity of a hormone is 10^-10 M and the dissociation constant for binding of the hormone to its receptor is 10^-8 M. The fraction of receptors (R) bound to hormone (H) to form a receptor-hormone complex (RH) is: [RH]/[R]+[RH] = [RH]/[R] TOTAL = [H]/[H] + Kd What fraction of the receptors will have hormone bound? If a meaningful physiological response occurs when 50% of the receptors have bound a hormone molecule, how much will the concentration of hormone have to rise to elicit a response?

The following information applies to Questions #30-33. For all questions, please show all work and/or provide explanations. The Kd of the insulin receptor is 1.5 x 10^-10 M. There are 32,000 insulin receptors per cell. Assume one insulin binding site per receptor molecule. a) At what [insulin] are 50% of the total receptors bound by insulin? b) At what [insulin] are 80% of the total receptors bound by insulin? c) 80% is a 1.6-fold increase over 50%. What is the fold-increase of [insulin] for this 1.6-fold increase in receptor/ligand complex concentration, [RL]? d) If [insulin] is 4.2 x 10^-12 M, what fraction of the total receptors are bound by insulin?
