That was the point of the information I posted earlier on agonists.

Not all agonists are the same. Some are strong. Some medium and some are weak. All are agonists.

So comparing all agonists of a particular receptor and expecting them to all have the same strength of action is an erroneous comparison.

Not every ligand that binds to a receptor also activates that receptor. The following classes of ligands exist:

Yes....and some ligands that bind antagonize. My comments are often characterized as saying binding affinity = action but, when that is intentional, it is only a convenient way to avoid what I'm getting at, which is...Is there any reason/evidence to expect that 2-73 agonism is better??? (along with the issue of relative affinities can prevent receptor access).
