Values are mean ± S.E. for fit determined by nonlinear regression (eqs. 2-7) for binding, and linear regression for metabolism (eq. 8). The parameter values are scaled to give the intracellular values using the intracellular volume fraction (φi) of the cell suspensions assuming a cell volume of 1 μl/106 cells.
