Receptor binding

2_14
Equilibrium receptor binding data. (a) In a Scatchard plot of the data, the ratio of bound ligand concentration is plotted versus the bound ligand concentration. (b) The same data are plotted in the form of bound ligand concentration versus free ligand concentration. Note that at high free ligand concentration receptor saturation has not been reached. These data are for diazepam binding to rat brain cells.
