Summary
A table presents the number of hours required for binding to reach 80% and 95% of the equilibrium value for a noncooperative, single site ligand binding system. A 2nd table provides the fraction of binding sites occupied and the fraction of the total ligand bound at equilibrium under the same conditions.
