Statistical analysis of ligand-binding experiments
Abstract:
After a brief review of commonly used methods for parameter estimation from ligand-binding data in the biochemistry literature, we propose some diagnostic checks and statistical tests of the underlying assumptions and develop methods for evaluating the biases and variances of the estimates and for constructing confidence intervals. Examples on the analysis of data from two radioligand-binding experiments are presented to illustrate these methods.

Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
