K A is the equilibrium dissociation constant for the binding of W84 to the unoccupied receptor, α is the cooperativity factor for the interaction of W84 with oxotremorine (Oxo), AF-DX 384, and NMS, respectively α · K A represents the equilibrium dissociation constant for the binding of W84 to the complex formed by the indicated ligand and the receptor, and ECdiss is concentration of W84 inducing a half-maximum retardation of [3H]ligand dissociation.
