Explain the relationship between the molar fraction of the functional zinc domain and zinc availability and how it impacts concentration distribution in the graphs. Relationship between the molar fraction of the functional zinc domain and zinc availability presented on logarithmic scale of free Zn(II) concentration (log[Zn(II)]free). Isotherms of Zn(II) binding to (a) zinc finger ZF133, (b) LIM, (c) zinc hook and (d) zinc clasp domains at various peptide concentrations are indicated as green, blue, gray and red circles.

The graphs mentioned show the relationship and the dependency of zinc domain saturation and the pZn values regarding concentration changes. It is found that the four isotherms overlap minus the peptide concentration with appropriated half-saturation points.

Relationship between the molar fraction of the functional zinc domain and zinc availability.

Moreover, it is also noticed that pZn at inflection points shifts with an increase in the concentration of domain components. Hence, the relationship between the half-saturation points and the concentration of the peptides is represented as logarithmic peptides.
