Abstract excerpt
The IGF-I receptor binds IGF-I with complex kinetics characterized by a curvilinear Scatchard plot, suggesting receptor heterogeneity and apparent negative cooperativity. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying these properties, we have characterized the binding of a hybrid receptor formed from a wild-type receptor monomer and a mutant receptor monomer devoid of binding activity. Receptor hybrids were...
