Both ligand- and cell-specific parameters control ligand agonism in a kinetic model of g protein-coupled receptor signaling.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exist in multiple dynamic states (e.g., ligand-bound, inactive, G protein-coupled) that influence G protein activation and ultimately response generation. In quantitative models of GPCR signaling that incorporate these varied states, parameter values are often unc...
