The Hill equation was first introduced by A.V. Hill to describe the equilibrium relationship between oxygen tension and the saturation of haemoglobin. In pharmacology, the Hill equation has been extensively used to analyse quantitative drug-receptor relationships. Many pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic models have used the Hill equation to describe nonlinear drug dose-response relationships. Alth...

INTRODUCTION Many biological response curves commonly assume a sigmoidal shape that can be approximated well by means of the 4-parameter nonlinear logistic equation, also called the Hill equation. However, estimation of the Hill equation parameters requires access to commercial software or the ability to write computer code. Here we present two user-friendly and freely available computer progra...

The Hill coefficient is commonly used to estimate the number of ligand molecules that are required to bind to a receptor to produce a functional effect. However, for a receptor with more than one ligand binding site, the Hill equation does not reflect a physically possible reaction scheme; only under the very specific condition of marked positive cooperativity does the Hill coefficient accurate...

A Study was made on the interaction between histon H1 and sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in the presence of sodium arsenate inside a phosphate buffer of pH 6.4, using spectroscopy and equilibrium dialysis at 27 °C. The binding data has been used to obtain the gibbs free energy in terms of a theoretical model based on the Wyman binding potential. The binding data hs been analysed...

the binding data for interaction of a homologous series of n-alkyl sulfates with alkyl chainlengths from c8 to c12 with insulin were analyzed on basis of hill equation for two classes ofbinding sites .the intrinsic gibbs free energies were calculated and resolute on basis ofelectrostatic and hydrophobic contributions the estimation of these contributions reveals themajor role of electrostatic i...

A mathematical model is presented describing the timeand length-dependent behavior of cardiac muscle. The model describes a wider variety of experimental data than do previously published models. It incorporates a modification of the Hill equation describing the force-velocity relation. Based on the sliding filament theory, the revised equation includes the effects of finite cross-bridge compli...
