Abstract

In biochemical receptor analysis 2 parameters are of particular interest: the concentration of receptor binding sites and the dissociation constant of the receptor-ligand complex. For this purpose cell fractions or intact cells containing the receptor are incubated in vitro with radioactive ligand until equilibrium is achieved:

$${\text{L}} + {\text{R}} + \rightleftarrows {\text{RL}} + {\text{BL}}$$
((1))

L = free radioactive ligand, R = free receptor, B = free nonspecific binder, RL = radioactive receptor-ligand complex, BL = radioactive complex of ligand and non-specific binder.
