Nature of Occupancy-Response RelationshipGeneric: HyperbolicLimiting Case: Linear
Theoretical expression for transduction coefficientDivision of eq. 1 by eq. 6 and rearrangement of terms gives rise to
Embedded Image
Experimental implementation of operational model to determine transduction coefficientImplementation of the operational model assumes that above equation is valid for experimentally measured values; in other words,
Embedded Image
Since operational model also assumes hyperbolicity, that is the reference agonist can evoke system maximal response, Embedded Image.
