Hello,
I have a set of data coming from a dissociation experiment
(protein/ligand). Since the data is required to calculate the constant
of dissociation (Kd) of this pair, I am looking for a way of fitting a
Hill function to the data.
I have seen that the package braidrm
(https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/braidrm/index.html) provides
this function, but when I launch the function `evalHillEqn`,
`findBestHill` and so forth I get the error of function not found.
Yet, the package is given as properly installed by the system.
How can I run this package?
Is there an alternative way to fit a Hill function to these data?
Thank you
