pKd-Unit?

[lordy99]

Hi,

some docking or scoring programms return the result as "pKd-unit". unfortunatly i could not find out what this means. google-ing for it produces 12 matches but no explanation. searching only for pKd produces thouends of hits but they have nothing to do with docking any ideas?

thx

if someone is interested here is the answer:

pKd stands for the log10 version of Kd and the d shut be formatted as subscript, finally this gives: Dissociation constant [1]

it always a good thing if you can answer your own questions after some time
