Molecules or parts of molecules („residues“) without charge, that cannot form a hydrogen bond, are called
hydrophobic
. They aggregate together to reduce the contact with water to a minimum.

• This example is nice, but wrong.
• Hydrogene bonds are never left open.
• In contact with an inert partner, water molecules are highly ordered.
• Reduction of contact area leads to reduced order.

How many receptors do we expect in a responsive tissue?

How many receptors do we expect in a responsive tissue?
• • Theoretical assumption: the tissue consists of cubes 10 µm x 10 µm x 10 µm Then, 1 mg tissue would consist of 100 x 100 x 100 = 10 6 cells
How many receptors do we expect in a responsive tissue?
Josef Loschmidt (1821-1895) • • • • • Theoretical assumption: the tissue consists of cubes 10 µm x 10 µm x 10 µm Then, 1 mg tissue would consist of 100 x 100 x 100 = 10 6 cells If each cell bears 1 binding site, this would result in 10 6 binding sites / mg tissue 1 fMol = 6 x 10 23-15 = 6 x 10 8 molecules 10 6 molecules = 1/600 fMol
How many receptors do we expect in a responsive tissue?
• • • The most common binding sites occur at densities of 10 to several 100 fMol/mg tissue.
This is much more than 1/600 fMol/mg tissue.
Thus, receptor-bearing cells have not only 1, but several thousands of binding sites.

Saturation & non-specific binding
Saturability: a radioligand can only be displaced if the target density is low.
Other examples for saturability: Langmuir isotherme (mono molecular layer on a surface), enzyme reaction rate (Michaelis-Menten).
