Values for affinity, efficacy, and allosteric cooperativity for orthosteric ligands and 2 are derived from the operational model of allosterism. Three different orthosteric agonists were used (leu-enkephalin, SNC80, and TAN67), across up to four functional assays (β-arrestin recruitment, [35S]GTPγS binding, cAMP inhibition, and pERK). In the model τA and τB represent the efficacy of the orthosteric agonist and allosteric modulator, respectively; pKA and pKB represent the binding affinity of the orthosteric agonist and the allosteric modulator, respectively, to the free receptor; and αβ represents the composite allosteric cooperativity factor. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of three to seven experiments.

*

pKA is fixed to its equilibrium binding affinity, as ligand is a full agonist in all end points tested.

**

pKA of leu-enkephalin and TAN67 in end points where they are partial agonists was obtained from fitting their CRC to the operational model of agonism to obtain a functional affinity in each end point tested.

***

the pKB for TAN67 in [35S]GTPγS binding had to be fixed to the average of the pKB obtained from Leu-enk and SNC80 as neither allosteric agonism or potentiation reached a limit.
