Agonist - Competitive inhibition, binds to active site and causes a signal response in receptive tissue. Antagonist (blocker) - Competitive inhibitor, binds to active site so signal molecules cannot bind but causes no response in receptive tissue, can bind and release eventually. Apply your understanding of channels and synapses to predict how various neurotoxins affect nervous function. - Neurotoxins block receptor proteins on the post-synaptic neuron. Example: tetrodotoxin form Fugu fish...
