Class: ProteinLigandAssayResult

Description: The type of study result describing the strength of interaction affinity - or enzymatic interaction - between a ligand and a target protein. Measured binding or enzymatic assay values are generally stated as the negative base 10 logarithm of the raw measurements. For instance (i.e., in a molecular interaction database like BindingDb) if a ligand inhibits a target protein with a pIC50 of 8.6, then the affinity parameter is pIC50 and the affinity value is 8.6.

Name Cardinality and Range Inheritance Examples
pKd:
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.
0..1
QuantityValue
direct
pKi:
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

pIC50:
Negative base 10 logarithm of the the inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) measures the concentration needed to block or inhibit a biological response.

pEC50:
Negative base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration of a chemical that produces a 50% excitation of a function

QuantityValue
direct
pAC50:
pAC50 is a base 10 negative logarithmic measure of potency for an activating (agonist) interaction between a molecule (such as a drug or ligand) and a biological target (such as a receptor or enzyme), where AC50 is the concentration (in molar units) of a compound that produces 50% of its maximal activation in a functional assay.
0..1
QuantityValue
direct
pXC50:
In the context of molecular interactions and drug discovery, pXC50 is a generic, base 10 negative logarithmic measure of compound potency that unifies different types of half‑maximal concentration values into a single notation, where XC50 means “the concentration at which 50% of the maximal effect is observed”, and X is a placeholder for the type of effect being measured (e.g., inhibition or activation). The X in pXC50 is intentionally generic and can represent different assay endpoints.

pKon:
Negative base 10 logarithm of the association rate constant (Kon) describes the rate at which molecules bind to each other.

equivalent_identifiers:
A set of identifiers that are considered equivalent to the primary identifier of the entity. This attribute is used to represent a collection of identifiers that are considered equivalent to the primary identifier of an entity. These equivalent identifiers may come from different databases, ontologies, or naming conventions, but they all refer to the same underlying concept or entity. This attribute is particularly useful in data integration and interoperability scenarios, where it is important to recognize and link different representations of the same entity across various sources.

category:
Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized. Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class. In a neo4j database this MAY correspond to the neo4j label tag. In an RDF database it should be a biolink model class URI. This field is multi-valued. It should include values for ancestors of the biolink class; for example, a protein such as Shh would have category values biolink:Protein, biolink:GeneProduct, biolink:MolecularEntity. In an RDF database, nodes will typically have an rdf:type triples. This can be to the most specific biolink class, or potentially to a class more specific than something in biolink. For example, a sequence feature f may have a rdf:type assertion to a SO class such as TF_binding_site, which is more specific than anything in biolink. Here we would have categories {biolink:GenomicEntity, biolink:MolecularEntity, biolink:NamedThing}
