Binding-site models using surface coverage ratios were utilized to analyze the signals from the HEMT-based sensors to extract the dissociation constants and predict the number of binding sites. With a quantitative analysis of the signals from the sensors through binding-site models, we are able to reveal how many binding sites are on the receptor (dsDNA) for certain ligands (SARS-N protein) and what the dissociation constants are for ligand-receptor complexes. The chemical reaction for the surface-immobilized receptor (dsDNA) and the free ligand (SARS-N protein-CTD) in bulk solution can be expressed as the following equations: Therefore, we conclude that for a one-binding-site model, the most significant change of the surface coverage ratio is within the range of the ligand concentration between one order higher and one order lower than the value of the dissociation constant. ./cache/cord-330944-54xmnum8.txt ./txt/cord-330944-54xmnum8.txt
