% This optional module, "Fit_TwoKD," is used as a computing and plotting space. % It calls function "Fit_TwoKD_Func" in order to return fractional saturations, % KDs, and Hill coefficients for a model that assumes two transition points,. %% INPUT DATA BELOW (SEE ALSO SAMPLE DATA) % Ligand concentrations (L) should all be in uM. % Input normalized fluorescence signals (S) rather than raw data. To avoid divide % by zero errors, put 0.9999 and 0.0001 in place of 1 and 0, respectively. % This function is sensitive to having data that actually reflects a sample with % two distinct transitions. The example data below satisfies this requirement - try % running the program once and looking at the resulting plot before testing your data. L= [0.0001 0.01 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 2.5 10 100]; S = [0.98 0.95 0.90 0.80 0.65 0.60 0.62 0.45 0.30 0.15 0.10 0.12]; % Below we initialize an array of ligand concentrations. L_space = logspace(-4, 4, 10000); % Binding fractions are calculated from fluorescence below. Y = 1 - S; % The fitting parameter array is initialized. The fractional saturation at % transition (f), KD, and n *at each transition* are the six parameters. C= [0.5 0.1 1 0.2 0.1 1]; % The fitting function is called. [fKDn, r] = nlinfit(L, Y, @Fit_TwoKd_Func, C); % Output f, KD and n values so they show up in the command window. f1 = fKDn(1) KD1 = fKDn(2) n1 = fKDn(3) f2 = fKDn(4) KD2 = fKDn(5) n2 = fKDn(6) % Using the same model as in "Fit_TwoKD_Func," we prepare a vector of % values for the binding fraction, using the chosen ligand-space. fitY = f1.*(L_space.^n1)./(L_space.^n1 + KD1.^n1) + f2.*(L_space.^n2)./(L_space.^n2 + KD2.^n2); % Finally, we plot the data. figure semilogx(L, Y, 'x') hold on semilogx(L_space, fitY) xlabel('log [L] (\mu M)') ylabel('binding Y') legend('data', 'fit') title('Part 4: Two transitions')
