Plotting inhibitory data....

In biochemistry, we often investigate drug effects on enzymes or cells. These drug effects are often inhibitory effects.

I have been trying to find good resources about how to do this in R.

The key seems to use the Nonlinear Least Squares function:

nls()

This is going to take practice to understand and appreciate.

I found this link: http://www.carlyhuitema.com/r.html which looks useful. It deals with IC50, has example data and some example scripts. Nice.

Resources:

Here's something I managed to draw:


I like the look of this. It implies that I have the correct script and info in place. 
Good :-)
