Re: What are the biological basics of a Scatchard plot ?

Dear Fred,

The basics of the Scatchard plot derive from the fact that the equation for 
the binding of a ligand to a receptor has the same form as the binding of a 
substrate to an enzyme, the more familiar Michaelis-Menton equation. I 
would recommend you read Athel Cornish-Bowden's "Fundementals of Enzyme 
Kinetics" (Portland Press, London 1995). They have a web page 
at http://www.portlandpress.com/books/titles.htm. I would thoroughly 
recommend this book, in my opinion it is the best available on the subject.
