HintAnswer% Correct
What type of molecule when it binds to a receptor produces (increases) a response?Agonist
100%
What about a ligand determines how much of it binds to a receptor given its concentration?Affinity
50%
Addition of a competetive antagonist will shift a log concentration/response curve in what direction?Right
50%
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%
Three processes are involved in this phenomenon uncoupling, sequestration and last?Down-regulation
0%
What is the relationship between the amount of receptors occupied and the size of the response?Efficacy
0%

0%
A sequence of experiments to determine the relative potency of a group of structurally related compounds is a what?Structure activity series
0%
What type of receptor sometimes requires dimerization in order to autophosphorylate?Tyrosine kinase
