🗑
Chemical messengers include _____ and ______   neurotransmitters and hormones  
🗑
Binding of messenger to receptor results in _______ _______   Signal transduction  
🗑
Drug that mimics natural messenger is an _____   agonist  
🗑
Agonist should bind and leave quickly or slowly?   quickly  
🗑
Drug that blocks natural messenger is an _____   antagonist  
🗑
Antagonists alter induced fit due to _____ and/or _____ binding groups   stronger and/or more binding groups  
🗑
Agonist must have correct ____ , ______ and ____ _____ in order to work   correct shape , positioning and binding groups  
🗑
Enantiomers usually have ______ biological properties   different  
🗑
Agonists usually have _____ of interactions as natural messenger   same #  
🗑
Groups that block access to binding site are called ______ or ______   steric blocks or steric shields  
🗑
Agents which bind to allosteric binding site rather than the messenger binding site   allosteric modulators  
🗑
Allosteric modulators _______ receptor activity   enhance  
🗑
Ex. of Allosteric modulator   benzodiazepines  
🗑
Benzodiazepines target allosteric site of   GABAa receptor  
🗑
Reversible antagonist binds _____ to receptor and produces different ____ ___   reversibly , induced fit  
🗑
Does antagonist undergo rxn with receptor?   no rxn  
🗑
Level of antagonism depends on _____ of binding and _______   strength and [antagonist]  
🗑
For reversible antagonist: increasing [messenger]....   lowers antagonism  
🗑
Irreversible antagonists bind _____ to receptor by form ______ bonds   irreversibly , covalent  
🗑
For irreversible antagonists: increasing [messenger]...   does not reverse antagonism  
🗑
Allosteric antagonist bind ______ to _______ site of receptor   reversibly , allosteric  
🗑
Alloseric antagonist work by....   altering shape of receptor to block messenger action  
🗑
For Allosteric antagonists: increasing [messenger]...   does not reverse antagonism  
🗑
How does Antagonism by Umbrella effect work?   Antagonist binds to neighboring binding site and overlaps/covers messenger binding site  
🗑
______ ______ binds but does not produce maximum effect   Partial agonist  
🗑
Partial agonists act as _____ to one receptor subtype and ______ to different subtype   agonist , antagonist  
🗑
Define Inherent activity   any activity present in the absence of a chemical messenger  
🗑
Inverse agonist blocks ______ ______ of receptor   inherent activity  
🗑
Inverse agonist create equilibrium between ______ activity and _______   inherent activity and inactivity  
🗑
Adding agonist pushed receptor toward _____ form   active  
🗑
Adding antagonist pushes receptor toward ____ form   inactive  
🗑
Adding partial agonist pushes receptor toward ______ between forms   equilibrium  
🗑
Receptors become ____ after long-term exposure to agonist   desensitized  
🗑
Prolonged binding of agonist leads to ______ of receptor   phosphorylation  
🗑
Phosphorylation _______ receptor until agonist leaves   deactivates  
🗑
Receptors become ______ after long-term exposure to antagonist   sensitized  
🗑
To compensate for antagonist-blocked receptors, cell....   synthesizes new receptors  
🗑
Synthesis of new receptors makes cell more sensitive to _______   natural messenger  
🗑
Long-term exposure to agonist can lead to ______ and ______   tolerance and dependence  
🗑
Tolerance results in need to....   increase dosage of antagonist

🗑
_______ binds to AF-2 regions of estrogen receptor in order to activate response   Coactivator  
🗑
Raloxifene is an estrogen receptor ______ and ______ agent   antagonist and anti-cancer  
🗑
Raloxifene works by preventing ______ so _____ regions are not exposed and coactivator doesn't bind   dimerization , AF-2  
🗑
Tamoxifen is an estrogen receptor ______   antagonist  
🗑
