Summary
The
Equilibrium Dissociation Constant
(Kd) quantifies the
Affinity between a ligand and a protein
, providing insight into how tightly or loosely they bind to each other. A lower Kd value indicates a stronger
Binding Affinity
, suggesting that the ligand is more likely to remain bound to the protein even in the presence of
Competing interactions
or
Environmental Factors
.
