Document Summary

Since this equation is similar to the relationship between [dr] and kd, we can ask what the relationship is between ec50 and kd. Relationship between receptor occupancy (ec50) and agonist effects (kd) Two curves: (1) receptor occupancy (bound) vs. [drug] (2) effect vs. [drug] The two curves are superimposable; therefore linear relationships between the two. Ec50> kd; when multiple receptors must be occupied before an effect begins (takes longer to have effect) More drugs may be detected before seeing 50% of the max response (when. There will be a right-sided shift to the effect-[drug] curve, means more drugs detected; this difference in shifts considered as threshold effect, which happens after surpassing a qualitative limit. Ec50
