BIOCHEMISTRY

Hill combination equation

describes binding site occupancy using empirical cooperativity parameters.

θ=[L]nKdn+[L]n\theta=\frac{[L]^n}{K_d^n+[L]^n}

symbols, variables and units

θ: occupancy rate; [L], K_d: concentration; n: dimensionless Hill coefficient.

applicable conditions and boundaries

Apparent empirical model; n should not be interpreted directly as the number of binding sites.
