- 1Concerning drug receptor interaction, the constant Kd refers to:Drug concentration required to occupy 50% of receptors
- 2G protein-coupled receptors are characterised by:7 transmembrane domains
- 3Which of these is NOT an effect that follows receptor activation? a. Increase in intracellular cAMP levels b. Increase in intracellular calcium levels c. Increase in intracellular IP3 levels d. Increase in intracellular ATP levelsD) Increase in intracellular ATP levels
- 4Which statement is TRUE regarding competitive receptor antagonism? a. Competitive antagonism is based on reversible antagonist binding at the receptor active site. b. With competitive antagonism, maximal drug effect is lower c. With competitive inhibition, maximum drug effect cannot be obtained, even at high agonist concentrations d. With competitive inhibition, the dose-effects curve is shifted to the leftCompetitive antagonism is based on reversible antagonist binding at the receptor active site.

- 7Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE regarding the binding site of a receptor? a. The binding site is normally a hollow or cleft in the surface of a receptor b. The binding site is normally hydrophobic in nature c. Ligands fit into binding sites and bind to the functional groups within it d. Receptor binding site contains amino acids which are important to the binding processThe binding site is normally hydrophobic in nature
