Yep, just did the calculation - for 2.6 nm looks like it will pretty much all be bound. Great stuff!!

If yes, than the population of bound complex can be calculated from the following relation: Bound = ( [Ligand] ) / ( KD + [Ligand] ) For example, with a KD of 100 uM (0.1 mM), a concentration of ligand of 1 mM (matched with a protein concentration smaller or equal to 1 mM) would yield a steady-state bound population of ~91% (0.91).
