Chemistry

You think you have a receptor with three identical andindependent ligand binding sites that came about from trimerizationof monomeric receptors. If you knew what the signal was for bindingto one monomer, would a binding titration be able to prove that thetrimer is being formed? What are some techniques to prove it existsas a trimer in solution (i.e. that its molecular weight is threetimes the monomer)?
