Analysis of binding surfaces: a methodology appropriate for the investigation of complex receptor mechanisms and multiple neurotransmitter receptors.
In this study we describe a novel experimental design: analysis of three-dimensional binding surfaces. Evidence is presented that a binding surface provides greater information content than does a single binding isotherm. This approach to the design and analysis of ligand binding studies should facilitate quantitative studies of the opiate receptor.
