The video tutorial explains how to determine ligand concentration using a formula involving Theta, the percentage of protein binding sites occupied by the ligand, and the dissociation constant (KD). The instructor demonstrates the process of rewriting the formula to solve for ligand concentration, providing a step-by-step calculation example. The tutorial concludes with a brief introduction to the Hill plot, which will be covered in the next video.
