"There's such freedom in this performance," he says, "such an electrifying sense of dangerous possibility, potency and potential".
Although caution is required in the interpretation of experiments relying on the use of a small compound inhibitor of only modest potency (raising the possibility of off-target effects), our data also suggest that—similar to the situation with HIV Gag even partial inhibition of MSP processing may impact on invasion efficiency.
Furthermore, the potency of modern possibilities of maintaining fertility should be always discussed (Maltaris et al, 2006), whereby cryoconservation of oocytes of patients with malignant and semi-malignant ovarian tumours still remains controversial.

These differential effects provide the first evidence that p97 cofactors and disease mutations can alter p97 inhibitor potency and suggest the possibility of developing context-dependent inhibitors of p97.
