The graph shows the hormone-binding specificity of a hypothetical membrane receptor. The results are for three different hormones, X, Y, and Z. The graph plots the percentage binding capacity of the receptor as a function of hormone concentration for each hormone. Using the graph of percentage binding versus hormone concentration, give the estimated molar (M) concentration for each hormone that yields 50% of maximal binding.
