Consider the dimerization 2 A A 2 , with forward rate constant k a and backward

Question:

Consider the dimerization 2 A ⇌ A2, with forward rate constant ka and backward rate constant kb.

(a) Derive the following expression for the relaxation time in terms of the total concentration of protein, [A]tot, = [A] + 2[A2]:

(b) Describe the computational procedures that lead to the determination of the rate constants ka and kb from measurements of τ for different values of [A]tot.

(c) Use the data provided below and the procedure you outlined in part (b) to calculate the rate constants ka and kb, and the equilibrium constant K for formation of hydrogen-bonded dimers of 2-pyridone:
