title: [Study of the binding of thyroxine by thyroxine-binding prealbumin by a dialysis method using a fixed free concentration of ligand (author's transl)].
abstract: In order to study ligand-protein binding in solution, a dialysis method was used in which the free concentration of ligand can be controlled. The method has certain advantages and was applied to the binding of thyroxine by thyroxine-binding prealbumin, a system about which the results found in the literature are not in good agreement. From the isotherm drawn according to the Scatchard plot, it was found that thyroxine-binding prealbumin only presents a single binding site for thyroxine per molecule, the association constant being 1.7 . 10(8) M-1.
