Pan-African flag - History. 1  The flag was created in 1920 by members of UNIA in response to the enormously popular 1900 coon song Every Race Has a Flag but the Coon. [4] which has been cited as one of the three songs that firmly established the term coon in the American vocabulary.
A ligand is any molecule that binds to a specific site on a protein or other molecule. In this case, the estrogen hormone 17-beta-estradiol is the ligand, and the estrogen receptor is the protein. Binding turns on, or activates, a hormone receptor.
A ligand that can bind to a receptor, alter the function of the receptor, and trigger a physiological response is called an agonist for that receptor. Agonist binding to a receptor can be characterized both in terms of how much physiological response can be triggered and in terms of the concentration of the agonist that is required to produce the physiological response.
