Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receptor efficacy refers to the extent or degree to which a drug can activate a receptor. It is independent of the drug's binding affinity or the concentration required for a drug to bind to a receptor. Dissociation constant (Kd) refers to the concentration of drug required to dissociate 50% of bound receptors, while Bmax refers to the maximal binding capacity of receptors.
