Avidin binds biotin with a Kd of ~10?15 mol/L. A protein of interest can be covalently linked to biotin and subsequently isolated by incubating with beads coated with avidin

If the concentration of biotinylated protein is 10-8 M at the beginning of the assay and the beads provided an excess of avidin-binding sites, then one could expect the beads to bind: A. a small fraction of the protein in the sample. B. approximately half the protein in the sample. C. almost all of the protein in the sample. D. 10–15 mol of protein per 1 mL of sample. E. This cannot be predicted.
