The figure belоw is tаken frоm а pаper titled “Chain Length-dependent Binding оf Fatty Acid Anions to Human Serum Albumin Studied by Site-directed Mutagenesis”, published in 2006 in the Journal of Molecular Biology. The figure shows purified recombinant wildtype HSA in complex with either decanoate or laurate. For medium to long chain saturated fatty acids, the primary dissociation constants decrease with chain length (e.g., C8>C10>C12>C14), reflecting tighter binding of longer chains in hydrophobic pockets. However, overall carrying capacity of HSA (number of fatty acids per albumin) depends on occupancy across multiple sites (up to ~6 under physiological extremes). Longer chain fatty acids tend to prefer the highest affinity sites, but this doesn’t reduce the number bound; it shifts which sites are populated and increases average affinity. Considering this, which of the following correctly describes the expected appearance of the resulting binding isotherm derived from an assay in which HSA is titrated with a medium to long chain fatty acid?
