1. If you could look at all of the species inside a live
bacterial cell, how much Zn2+(aq) would you find?
Explain. Calculate the total number of Zn2+(aq) ions in
a cell with a volume of 42 femtoliters.
2. Rearrange the equation in Scheme 1 to get an expression for
the binding affinity in terms of Kd. Provide two
assumptions implicit in this simple model.
.
3.The paper states “all of the structurally characterized Fur
proteins were isolated bound to zinc, not iron.” Explain how the
chemical properties of these metals might make them
interchangeable. Explain how imperfect metal binding specificity
complicates the study of these proteins.
