title: Kinetic analysis of biosensor data: elementary tests for self-consistency.
abstract: The validity of the most common kinetic interpretation of biosensor data can be quickly assessed with the aid of two simple tests for self-consistency, requiring only back-of-the-envelope calculations. A search of the recent literature reveals that many published results fail these tests qualitatively.
