Analysis of a Neu differentiation factor ( NDF ) induced heterodimer between ErbB 3 and ErbB 2 favors a bivalence model ; the ligand simultaneously binds both ErbB 3 and ErbB 2 , but , due to low affinity of the second binding event , ligand bivalence drives dimerization only when the receptors are membrane anchored . 0.54235501^^^
