Table 1.

Binding, signalling, and internalisation parameter estimates for the ligands in this study. Signalling parameter measures were determined as follows: an initial 4-parameter fit was constructed for all full agonists, with globally constrained basal response Emax and Hill slope, to establish the maximal response for the assay (note that for β-arrestin-2 measurement, D3-exendin-4 was the only full agonist). Individual responses were normalised to the assay maximum and parameter estimates for each assay recalculated by 4-parameter fitting with globally constrained basal response and Hill slope, but no constraint to Emax. For internalisation, curve fitting was performed similarly but without prior normalisation to a maximal response. Note that for β-arrestin-2, meaningful estimates of [F1,G40,K41.C16 diacid]exendin-4 could not be calculated (n.c.), as was also the case for both F1-exendin-4 and [F1,G40,K41.C16 diacid]exendin-4 for internalisation. Average ± SEM values are reported.
