“…5,15,16 Binding mechanisms can then be distinguished by comparing intrinsic dissociation constants K D,i = k off
/ k on , which can be determined from RD, with apparent K D measured by other techniques. 5,16–19 In general, simple two-state, conformational selection and induced fit mechanisms follow K D,i = K D , K D,i < K D , and K D,i > K D respectively. 5 In contrast to protein-detected RD measurements, recently developed ligand-detected RD experiments 17,20–22 do not require protein labeling, and protein concentrations can be low compared to ligand concentrations.…”
