How is Ki defined?

- Ki usually represents the binding affinity. However, I think this must be incorrect here, because Ki has units of per concentration, meaning the equation given in the article is not dimensionally correct. I think it should be KD (the binding dissociation constant) instead of Ki, which has units of concentration like L and RL. The linked paper (Mintun et al., 1984) seems to confirm this, since it defines the binding potential as BP = Bmax/KD. Perhaps someone with better knowledge of this field could confirm? --Whatthefat (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
