Optimum conditions for the binding of insulin to its receptor

The specific binding of insulin to the membranes from lactating mouse mammary gland was studied as a model of hormonereceptor type of binding. The basic ingredients of binding, the concentration of receptor protein and the concentration of labeled insulin were mainly studied. The characteristic changes in specific binding were followed, the adequate regression equation was draen and the optimum conditions of binding were established for further experiments. The expediency of applying shortened orthogonal plans, regression and analysis and graphic conture analysis were proved.
