These pints are divided into two cups (though the imperial cup is rarely used now), which in turn are divided into two gills (gills are also rarely used). Thus a gallon is equal to four quarts, eight pints, sixteen cups or thirty-two gills.
Binding constant. Home Â» Binding constant. Definition. noun. A mathematical constant that describes the bonding affinity between two molecules at equilibrium. Supplement. It is the measure of the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate. An example is the measure of the strength of binding in the hapten-antibody interaction.
Force constant mainly means spring constant in physics, which ultimately refers to Hooke's law Hooke's law is a principle of physics that states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance X is proportional to that distance. That is: F = kX, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring: its stiffness, and X is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
