Drug-receptor binding

Pharmacology · Pharmacodynamics

A plot of the proportion of receptors bound with two different agonists at varying agonist concentrations. In this plot, a higher affinity agonist (red) and a lower affinity agonist are compared. Classical binding to the receptors, with Michaelis–Menten kinetics, has been assumed. This plot is in linear-linear co-ordinates. On log-linear coordinates the green curve would have the same shape as the
