reaction resulting in a receptor–ligand complex

A ligand L attaches to a receptor, R, in the membrane, resulting in a receptor–ligand complex RL. This binding process is dependent on the concentration of protons (i.e. pH) in the microenvironment of the receptor.

Defining Formula: $f_{1} = k_{1} \cdot x_{L} \cdot x_{R}$
$k_{1}$ symbol represents Reaction Constant for Receptor-Ligand Complex Creation
$x_{R}$ symbol represents Number of Receptor Molecules
$x_{L}$ symbol represents Number of Ligand Molecules
$f_{1}$ symbol represents Propensity of Receptor-Ligand Complex Creation
