Competitive antagonist may send dose-response curve to right, but it's a different kind of 'shift' depending on reversibility

for reversible its the exact curve, but shifted right for irreversible its the same curve, but not shifted right -- instead, its the same curve but with a lessened response for each dose value

for reversible, maximal response is still achievable for irreversible, maximal response is lowered -- which makes sense because there is effectively less available receptors —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.17.246 (talk) 11:22, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
