Agonist efficiency links binding and gating in a nicotinic receptor

Receptors signal by switching between resting (C) and active (O) shapes (‘gating’) under the influence of agonists. The receptor’s maximum response depends on the difference in agonist binding energy, O minus C. In nicotinic receptors, efficiency (η) represents the fraction of agonist binding energy...
