TABLE 2

Results of fitting the inhibition data to a two-site, two-drug model

The results of fitting complete data sets (antagonists 1 and 2 separately and the pair of antagonists) to a two-site, two-drug inhibition model (eq. 3). With metocurine, there was no convergence for Lαδ; fitting process was halted when Lαδ = 30,000 nM. In all other cases, after convergence was reached, the Lαϵ and Lαδ values of antagonist 2 were reversed and used as seeds for a second fit. The results were the same as for the initial fit.
