Hill plot is used to study

Explanation

The Hill plot is a logarithmic transformation used to quantify cooperativity in ligand binding. The slope of the linear region, the Hill coefficient nH, exceeds unity for positive cooperativity and is less than unity for negative cooperativity. An nH of 1 recovers the non-cooperative Langmuir isotherm. The analysis therefore provides a convenient numerical index of cooperative interactions among binding sites.
