Agonists:
Agonists activate receptors.
After agonists bind to receptor release of chemical energy chain of biochemical events in cell response.
Efficacy of agonist:
1) Full agonists – have a high efficacy produce maximum response while only occupying some receptors
2) Partial agonists – have a low efficacy do not produce a maximum response even when they occupy all receptors
