This research presents a general model for receptor dimers, focusing on ligand binding functions, cooperativity analysis, and competition experiments. Equilibrium constants are provided for both symmetric dimer models, with detailed explanations on fitting data to the model and simplifying equations. The study aims to enhance understanding of receptor dimer interactions and binding affinities.

Constants List of the equilibrium constants for the two-state dimer model & In this symmetric dimer model [A(RR)] refers to the concentration of dimer with A bound, i.e irrespective of whether A is bound to one site or the other.
Ligand binding I. Functions The ligand binding function The saturation function is a 2:2 function
Ligand binding II. Cooperativity analysis Reference saturation function Saturation function It corresponds to a theoretical noncooperative binding of A to a dimer K is the average association constant
Ligand binding III. Cooperativity analysis If Positive cooperativity If Negative cooperativity If Noncooperativity. Occurs when
Ligand binding IV. Fitting data to the model Rearranging and defining c1 and c2 where being . • c2 gives an idea of the affinity • positive cooperativity occurs when c1 < 2·[A]50 • negative cooperativity occurs when c1 > 2·[A]50 • c1 = 2·[A]50 gives noncooperativity
