Scatchard Analysis

Scatchard analysis is a graphical method for determining ligand-receptor binding affinity (Kd) and binding capacity (Bmax) from binding data. Developed by George Scatchard in 1949, the Scatchard plot linearizes hyperbolic binding curves, enabling visual detection of multiple binding sites and quantitative parameter estimation.
