B2. Binding of Two Identical Ligands

- 4913
Explore the interactive graphs below to see how binding of identical ligands to two sites with different affinity changes the nature of the binding graphs. The subtle changes in the graphs should make it clear that binding analyses should be done with a rigorous mathematical analysis fitting of data to the simplest hyperbolic model before moving on to more complex models.
