Abstract
In the present chapter we generalize the results in the previous chapter to study one of the most fascinating biochemical phenomena: the cooperative interaction between two or more ligands that bind a single receptor (or simply cooperativity). Once more, we make use of our previous knowledge to carefully analyze the dynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of this phenomenon.
