摘要
A mean-field treatment of ligand binding to a biological macromolecule containing multiple binding sites correctly describes the essential thermodynamic features involved in the effects observed locally at the level of individual sites. Equilibrium and steady state phenomena can be analyzed within a simple framework that is particularly useful in practical applications. Analysis of the complex electron binding properties of cytochrome aa3 reveals the origin of the negative electron binding capacity observed experimentally for cytochrome a.
