    Using Dissociation Constant Conceptually?

    in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

    Posted · Edited by linda43
    re-wording

    I’m completely stumped on how to use the Kd to gauge relative concentration of bound vs free protein. I was told something along these lines (I used "conc." instead of brackets because they weren't showing up properly):
     

    Kd = ( conc. A x conc. B  ) / conc. AB

    "If concentration A is fixed and relatively low, and concentration of B  is lower than Kd, then there will be relatively low AB and mostly free A."

    How does this make sense conceptually? I've tried to model it out, but I can't seem to get anywhere. Can anyone please help?
