TABLE 2.

Estimation of Kb, Kobs, and relative efficacy using equations 57, 58, and 59, respectively

The parameters were estimated from the Tsat and EC50 values of the concentration-response curves shown in Fig. 4. For the calculations, it was assumed that the Tsat of agonist A was a good estimate of Msys. The estimate of the basal response was 20.6%.
