Fig. 5. A rapid filtration method through DE-81 filters was used to measure the
binding of 125I-
-bungarotoxin (
-Bgt) to
affinity-purified acetylcholine receptors from electric rays at equilibrium.
The data presented are from a typical experiment where the specific binding is
plotted against increasing
-Bgt concentrations. The dissociation
constants calculated from the equation for a single binding site were not
significantly different in the four electric rays tested, ranging between 21
and 53 nmol l1. Error bars represent
S.E.M.
