Pharmacol. 39: 517-523 (1991). We have, therefore, chosen another approach and have developed discrete computer simulations of receptor-effector interactions taking place on a spherical membrane. These simulations were based on the following principles: (a) receptors activate effectors in a catalytic manner, and (b) diffusion of receptors and effectors is slow, so that receptors will only activate effectors that are in their vicinity at the time of agonist occupation. Using several experimentally determined parameters, these simulations could reproduce the experimental findings on adenylate cyclase activation by A2 adenosine receptors described in the preceding manuscript. In addition, by appropriate choice of the simulation parameters, they are shown to accommodate the behavior of several other models of receptor-effector interactions.
