Notes

  1. 1.

    IC50 is the concentration leading to a 50 % inhibition of reaction - these values are usually the easiest to measure for any inhibitor of a given protein target – an enzyme with a known reaction.

  2. 2.

    K\(_\text {d}\) is a dissociation constant and it corresponds to the concentration of ligand at which the binding site of a protein is half occupied.

  3. 3.
