What’s an agonist?
An agonist is a drug which interacts with receptors, the resulting drug-receptor complex generates a response
What is the size of the response dependent of
Varies with the proportion of receptors occupied by the agonist which itself varies by the concentration of the agonist
What does the dose response curve show
The dose-response curve shows the response against log10 agonist
What are full agonist
Full agonist is an agonist that elicit the maximum response
What are the reasons why some agonist can produce a maximal response and others can’t
the total number of receptors present
the nature of the receptor and response coupling
What way would the dose-response curve move if the potency increases
What way would the dose-response curve move it the efficacy increases
What is an antagonist
is a drug that binds to receptors but does not activate them, thus preventing or reducing the effect of an agonist
