We mostly talk about agonists and antagonists with regards to cellular receptors. An agonist binds to a receptor and activates it, an antagonist binds to the receptor, but DOES NOT activate it, and prevents it from being activated.
L-dopa is a precursor that is converted to dopamine in the brain. It is not an agonist or antagonist itself, but once converted to dopamine, it acts as an agonist on dopamine receptors.
the agonist of the muscle is a motion that contracts the body to move in its opposition the antagonist is the muscle that causes movement of the posterior and anterior terms of the human body.
Rectus abdominis is the prime agonist and the superior and inferior oblique muscles are synergists. Erector spinae is an antagonist including a number of other muscles of the back.
An agonist drug binds to and activates a receptor in the body, producing a response similar to that of the endogenous ligand. This leads to an increase in the activity of the receptor, resulting in a physiological response.
No, EC50 is a measure of the concentration of a drug that produces a response halfway between the baseline and maximum after a specified exposure time. However, it does not provide direct information about agonist affinity, which is typically measured using dissociation constants (Kd) or inhibition constants (Ki).
During exercise, agonist and antagonist muscles have complementary roles. The agonist is the muscle primarily responsible for the movement, contracting to produce the desired action. In contrast, the antagonist muscle opposes the action of the agonist, providing balance and stability by controlling the movement and preventing injury. This coordinated interaction allows for smooth and efficient motion.

The Buprenorphine opioid is classified as a partial agonist antagonist.

Agonist works with the muscles, and the antagonist is the muscle working against it in a contraction. i.e. Bicep curl, the agonist is the Biceps brachii and the antagonist muscle is the triceps brachii.The word agonist means "producing an action" - an antagonist opposes that action. In medicine, an agonist binds to a receptor site and causes a response, often imitating the natural body reaction. An antagonist acts against this drug and blocks the response. for examples ramiels small balls and pubic hair
Drugs can act as agonist or antagonist to regulate a process or function of cellular/chemical process.
Agonist - Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii Antagonist - Bicep Brachii, Latissimus Dorsi
L-dopa is a precursor that is converted to dopamine in the brain. It is not an agonist or antagonist itself, but once converted to dopamine, it acts as an agonist on dopamine receptors.

in the arm: bicep contracts (agonist) triceps relax (antagonist) in the leg: hamstrings contract (agonist) quadriceps relaxes (antagonist) remember the agonist is the muscle "agonising" to do the work - like pulling the joint.
