inhibitorkänslighet
Inhibitorkänslighet refers to the degree to which a biological system, such as an enzyme or a signaling pathway, is affected by the presence of an inhibitor. Inhibitors are molecules that can bind to a target and reduce its activity. The sensitivity of a system to an inhibitor is determined by various factors, including the inhibitor's affinity for its target, the concentration of the inhibitor, and the inherent activity of the system being inhibited.
A high inhibitorkänslighet means that even a small amount of inhibitor can significantly reduce the target's
In research, this sensitivity is often quantified using parameters like the IC50 value, which represents the
