Deconvolution of <strong>Calcium</strong>-<strong>Binding</strong> Curves 27<br />

Fig. 1. Schematic representation of a protein with two binding sites for a specific<br />

ligand. (A) Macroscopic scheme; (B) Microscopic scheme.<br />

scopic constants and the coupling factors on the other hand. From Fig. 1, it is<br />

straightforward to deduce the following:<br />

K 1 = k 1 + k 2<br />

K 1 * K 2 = c * k 1 * k 2<br />

Ligand-binding data obtained from equilibrium or flow-dialysis experiments<br />

are described by the so-called Adair-Klotz equation:<br />

γ = K 1 * (L) + 2 * K 1 * K 2 (L) 2 / 1 + K 1 * (L) + K 1 * K 2 (L) 2 (2)<br />
