Abstract

This chapter has the objective of furnishing the reader with some understanding of non-competitive antagonism. A simple version is first discussed; this will then be followed by a specific case applied to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Since the latter is a particular system that is activated by the simultaneous presence of two agonists, it will be seen that competitive antagonists for one agonist-binding site appear to be non-competitive for the other agonist.
