Fig. 1: Binding reactions reach equilibrium faster at high concentrations of binding partners.

a Diagram of a simple binding reaction between a receptor (R) and a ligand (L), and a plot of the fraction of occupied receptors vs time, for different ligand concentrations and a given receptor concentration. Small circles mark the time point at which receptor occupancy reaches half of the steady-state value for a given ligand concentration. b Fraction of occupied receptors vs ligand concentration. Each curve corresponds to a different time after ligand addition (from early times, light gray to steady state, black). Small circles mark the ligand concentration at which receptor occupancy is half of the steady state value at each time.
