Enum: AffinityParameterEnum

The types of parameters that can be used to describe the affinity between two entities, characteristically chemicals and proteins. The values are generally stated as the negative base 10 logarithm of the raw measurements.

Permissible Values

Value Meaning Description
pIC50 None Negative base 10 logarithm of the the inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) measures the concentration needed to block or inhibit a biological response.
pEC50 None Negative base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration of a chemical that produces a 50% excitation of a function
pAC50 None None
pXC50 None None
pKi None Negative base 10 logarithm of the equilibrium binding affinity for a ligand that reduces the activity of its binding partner. Ki represents the concentration at which the inhibitor ligand occupies 50% of the receptor sites when no competing ligand is present
pKon None Negative base 10 logarithm of the association rate constant (Kon) describes the rate at which molecules bind to each other.
pKoff None Negative base 10 logarithm of the dissociation rate constant (koff) describes the rate at which they dissociate.
pKd None Negative base 10 logarithm of the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) which is a measure of the binding affinity and is defined as the ratio of koff to kon.
