Hello, I’m really really confused. I am studying ligand/receptors for my PhD and am trying to understand the Ki values of certain ligands. I have looked up websites but still can make no sense of it.

What does Ki mean??. Please explain in simple English as I do not have a chemistry background

Many thanks in advance
