in the langmuir equation, which variable represents the proportion of receptors that are
bound by ligand?
•r
•D
•Kd
•Rt
•DR - Answer r
,if a ligand has an intrinsic activity, alpha, of 0.54, this ligand is best considered a.
•full agonist
•partial agonist
•antagonist
•inverse agonist - Answer partial agonist
If you do a cell culture experiment where you exogenously express a receptor in cells,
which variable in the equation R=f[α•r•Rt] are you most directly controlling?
•R
•f
•α
•r
•Rt - Answer Rt
with an efficacy driven agonist, reducing the number of receptors present will shift the
response curve.
•up
•down
•left
•right
•not at all - Answer right

active? select all that apply.
, •Rclosed
•Ropen
•ARclosed
•ARopen
•none would be active - Answer •Ropen
•ARopen
in a two state system that allows for spontaneously active receptors, increasing the
expression levels of receptor in the absence of agonist will have what effect on measured
response?
•increase
•decrease
•no effect - Answer increase
in the extended ternary complex model of receptors, which state[s] will result in
subsequent downstream signaling? select all that apply.
•Ri
•Ra
•ARi
•ARa
•ARaG
•RaG - Answer •ARaG
•RaG
If a system contains no constitutive activity of a receptor, what will be the effect of adding
an inverse agonist to the system on the measured response in the absence of any other
