Question
Chapter 28, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the given KI and I50 values. Whether the compound A is effective in preventing HIV replication when taken orally or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The IC50, half maximal inhibitory concentration, is the capacity of a substance to inhibit biological molecules and biochemical reactions. IC50 is the quantitative measurement of the inhibitor, which indicates the amount of inhibitor required to inhibit the biological substance.

Inducers and Inhibitors of AEP.
Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…
