Which of the following situations would produce a Hill plot with n<  1.0?

(a) The protein has multiple subunits, each with a single ligand-binding site. Binding of ligand to one site decreases the binding affinity of other sites for the ligand.

(b) The protein is a single polypeptide with two ligand-binding sites, each having a different affinity for the ligand.

(c) The protein is a single polypeptide with a single ligand-binding site.
