Table 1. Summary of binding parameters determined by fluorescence enhancement titrations

The binding of 9-(9-anthroyloxy) stearic acid (9-AS) and all-trans retinol to X4IRBP and the Arg->Gln substitution mutants was followed by monitoring ligand-fluorescence enhancement. The number of ligand-binding sites (N) and the dissociation constant (Kd) were determined as described by Baer et al. [48].
