What is biased efficacy? Defining the relationship between intrinsic efficacy and free energy coupling
Highlights • GPCR signalling involves interactions with multiple transduction proteins. • Differences in the agonist-induced cooperative effect that stabilizes distinct receptor–transducer complexes generate biased agonism. • This cooperative effect is mathematically related to the intrinsic efficac...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • GPCR signalling involves interactions with multiple transduction proteins. • Differences in the agonist-induced cooperative effect that stabilizes distinct receptor–transducer complexes generate biased agonism. • This cooperative effect is mathematically related to the intrinsic efficacy of classical receptor theory. • This relationship provides a rational approach to quantifying biased efficacy. |
