a) Can I assume nearly full saturation of the ligand at receptor A?
b) Is there a dose Y+Z that would produce effects through receptor B with the ligand at dose X?
c) Can I titrate the dose X down until effects are noticed (with constant dose Y), and still assume nearly full saturation of the ligand at receptor A?"
Crazy stuff.. If I am to chose one thing, I have to do it quick.. Cuz time is running out..
