In addition, there are usually energy barrier(s) (e.g., ΔG f ‡ in Fig. 2) between the ground and active states, which affect the kinetics of receptor activation.
State "R" and "R*" stand for the ground and active states, respectively, and "S" stands for substrate (agonist).
There are two transition-state energy barriers (termed transition-0 and-1) separating the ground and active states.
More detailed consequences of such a movement depend on the equilibrium conformations of the ground and active states at the new ΔΨ.
In the absence of an agonist, if ΔG E = 0, the GPCR would have a 50/50 chance of remaining in both the ground and active state, whereas if ΔG E/RT ≪ 0, the GPCR would remain in the ground state most of the time.
Although multiple active states have been proposed to explain so-called biased-signaling phenomena (Onaran et al. 2014), the two-state model remains the cornerstone of the GPCR activation study: the free-energy differences and energy barriers between the multiple active states are usually significantly smaller than those between the ground and active states.

Roughly speaking, a typical GPCR possesses two major states: the ground (R) and active (R*) states (Zhang et al. 2014; Lamichhane et al. 2015).
