title: Computer modelling of the binding of non-selective ligands to biological receptors.
abstract: The application of common linearization methods (log-probit analysis or Hill plot transformation) to the evaluation of receptor binding experiments leads to serious errors, if the ligands used possess insufficient receptor selectivity. The use of simultaneous non-linear curve-fitting procedures in this case is recommended and illustrated.
