Wild-type COX-2 or the specified mutant enzyme was captured by an antibody onto a plate, and then saturation, dissociation, and association binding experiments were performed as described underMaterials and Methods. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M. from the number of experiments shown in parentheses.
