  • N.D., not defined, indicates that the parameter could not be determined with confidence.

  • aKd is the equilibrium binding affinity for the ternary complex formation based on reaction 4 and estimated using numerical simulations conducted in COPASI.

  • bEC50 is the concentration of ligand at which the fluorescence is decreased by 50% of the maximum decrease observed at residual fluorescence (Fres) value determined from a three-parameter dose response curve fit (eq. 7) to the data obtained from the SVD analysis of the fluorescence titrations.
