Schematic representation of how the parameters may be derived from properties of the four phases. In Phase A ligand binds to the receptor (k on), during Phase B ligand is primarily eliminated directly (k e(L)); time of termination yields information about k in. In Phase C the saturation term is important (K d), and in Phase D ligand elimination proceeds mainly though the receptor (k e(RL))
