Hello there,
while studying pharmacology and the receptor theories, this sentence popped out and I'm having troubles understanding what it means:
"In receptor occupation theory, the drug may either fully activate the receptor or not."
Why's that? What about partial agonists? Does this theory neglect their existence?
Thanks!
