Facets:
Source sentences:
text: Not every ligand that binds to a receptor also activates that receptor.
text: The ligands that bind and activate these receptors include light-sensitive compounds, odors, pheromones, hormones, and neurotransmitters, and vary in size from small molecules to peptides to large proteins.
text: motion – entropic penalty for reducing the degrees of freedom when a ligand binds to its receptor
text: When ligands bind to the receptor, the ion channel portion of the receptor opens, allowing ions to pass across the cell membrane
text: : a ligand that binds to and activates a receptor and triggers a maximal response Partial agonist : a ligand that binds to a receptor and produces a sub-maximal response
text: : a ligand that binds to a receptor and produces a sub-maximal response Antagonist : a ligand that binds to a receptor that does not activate the receptor.
text: Inverse agonist: a ligand that binds to a receptor and decreases response below basal level
text: Radioligands are used to measure the ligand binding to receptors and should ideally have high affinity, low non-specific binding, high specific activity to detect low receptor densities, and receptor specificity.
text: The ligands which bind and activate these receptors include: photosensitive compounds, odors, pheromones, hormones, and neurotransmitters.
text: Affinity is a measure of the tendency of a ligand to bind to its receptor.
