Partial association quotient, K_c,1, as a function of the logarithm of the ligand concentration log(L/mM) for the scheme depicted in Fig. 2d and (23) and its microscopic decomposition into the two elementary equilibrium constants. In the inset, we show the fractions of free sites, ω_i(L), related to each subsystem associated with every elementary equilibrium constant. The parameter values used are the same as Fig. 3
