RPE65 is а mаjоr prоtein оf unknown function found аssociated with the human eye that is associated with a number of different eye diseases. One hypothesis is that RPE65 is an enzyme involved in the chemical synthesis of the pigment that makes the human eye light sensitive. In a search as to which pathway intermediate RPE65 acts on, the following dissociation constants were measured (Table 1). They were compared to BSA, which stands for bovine serum albumin and is found in large concentrations in cow milk. It serves as a negative control for unspecific binding. Table 1: Dissociation Constants Kd of Various Retinoids with RPE65 and BSA in pM (10^-12 M). Ligands RPE65 (pM) BSA (pM) A: all-trans-retinyl palmitate 20 2143 B: 11-cis-retinyl palmitate 14224 2310 C: all-trans-retinol 1078 2316 D: 11-cis-retinol 3811 2143 Part A. 10 points Which ligand has the highest affinity to RPE65? Part B. 10 points What is the association constant for 11-cis-retinol binding to RPE65? Part C. 10 points What is the difference in standard binding free energy between ligand A binding to RPE65 as compared to BSA. Part D. 10 points If you add a 0.25 micromolar concentration of ligand A to a solution containing 0.1 micromolar RPE65, what percent of ligand A is bound to RPE65? What percent of RPE65 is bound to ligand A? Part E. 10 points If I chemically modify ligand A to enable a formation of a H-bond, what would you estimate to be the expected standard binding free energy for this new ligand?
