Abstract excerpt
Studies have been amassed in the past several years indicating that an agonist can conform a receptor into an activation state that is dependent upon an intrinsic property of the agonist usually based upon its chemical composition. Theoretically, each different agonist could impart its own unique activation state. Evidence for multiple signaling states for the G-protein-coupled receptors will be reviewed and is...
