  • Data are means ± S.E.M. of n experiments, where the first number indicates the number of experiments that were performed and the second number indicates the number of competition curves that were significantly better explained by a two-site model. The Hill slope refers to a monophasic fit. Affinity estimates for biphasic fits are based on fitting to a two-site model in which a Hill slope of unity was assumed for each component; these data are given only for compounds where more than half of all curves were biphasic.
