Robust regression-based analysis of drug-nucleic acid binding

Anal Biochem. 2003 Aug 15;319(2):258-62. doi: 10.1016/s0003-2697(03)00290-2.

Abstract

Outlier detection can be very important in analyzing data from Scatchard plots. In this study, a robust (outlier-resistant) regression procedure was used in conjunction with a Scatchard plot to study the binding of the methylphenazinium cation with double-stranded DNA. The procedures, their results, and their advantages are discussed.
