Progressively higher residual activity of the ESI complex (k’cat/kcat ratio) increases the IC50 value. It approaches infinity toward 50% residual activity, above which IC50 is undefined. In …

Feb 2, 2019 · Two commonly encountered parameters in enzyme kinetics are the Michaelis constant (Km) and the dissociation constant (Kd), both report aspects of a substrate’s binding …

In contrast to the K d value, the EC 50 describes the effective dose of ligand at which half of all target molecules are present in the bound state (EC 50 stands for half maximal effective …

Oct 7, 2017 · 广义的讲，IC50是对指定的生物过程（或该过程中的某个组分比如酶、受体、细胞等）抑制一半时所需的药物或者抑制剂的浓度。 药学中用于表征拮抗剂（antagonist）在体外实 …

To determine Kcat, one must obviously know the V max at a particular concentration of enzyme, but the beauty of the term is that it is a measure of velocity independent of enzyme …

Mar 6, 2025 · IC 50 measures inhibition of a function and conversely, EC 50 measures activation or induction of a response. Confusing these values can lead to misinterpretation of assay …

Why is the EC50 equal to Kd when there are no spare receptors? To achieve Kd, one needs to bind 50 receptors out of this 100. So lets say that all the spare receptors are occupied.

Sep 18, 2020 · In this article, I examine and clarify differences between a few common reversible inhibition mechanisms: competitive, uncompetitive, non-competitive, and mixed. Overall, these …

Dec 17, 2023 · Kd is a measuring stick that tells you how tightly a particular inhibitor clings to an ligand. In biochemistry, Kd stands for the dissociation constant, which is just as crucial as Km …

The constant kcat/Km is also referred to as the specificity constant in that it describes how well an enzyme can differentiate between two different competing substrates. (We will show this …
