What about a ligand determines how much of it binds to a receptor given its concentration? Affinity
75%
Addition of a competetive antagonist will shift a log concentration/response curve in what direction? Right
75%
What is the relationship between the amount of receptors occupied and the size of the response? Efficacy
25%
This phenomenon has 2 key forms for Beta adrenoreceptors, heterologous and homologous. In heterologous PKA phosophorylates the receptor but is not specific, in homologous, what enzyme phosphorylates it? Beta-adrenoreceptor kinase/BARK
0%
After this the binding of what protein uncouples the receptor? Beta arrestin
0%
What is it called when a receptor requires more than one molecule binding to be activated? Co-operativity
0%
What phenomenon is seen when after a prolonged exposure to an agonist the receptor is prevented from producing its normal effect? Desensitization
0%
What type of molecules are used to switch the channels between modes (0=channel not open, 1=channel opening in bursts, 2=very long openings)? Dihydropyridines/DHP
0%
