X Abstract

doi: 10.1021/jm061103g Many screening hits inhibit enzymes with steep dose-response curves, which are considered pathological. Three models might explain these curves: multisite binding, an inhibitor phase transition, or stoichiometric inhibition caused by a high enzyme to Kd ratio. Experiments with promiscuous aggregators, for which steep curves are common, suggest that these curves owe to stoichiometric inhibition, which predicts that IC50 should vary linearly with enzyme concentration. Most steep dose-response curves in screening may be due to this effect.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
