'Red shift' is a key concept for astronomers. The term can be understood literally - the wavelength of the light is stretched, so the light is seen as 'shifted' towards the red part of the spectrum.

Hope this helps.

Redshift occurs when the light source is moving away from you or when the space between you and the source is stretched. Redshift occurs when the source of light is moving away from the observer. So when astronomers see redshift in the light from a galaxy, they know that the galaxy is moving away from Earth.

Kay [80]
An agonist exhibit a positive biological effect similar to the receptor it stimulates. For instance, beta agonists (i.e. Salbutamol) stimulate the beta receptors in the bronchial system therefore leading to bronchodialtion. A competitive antagonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to the receptor binding site before the biological ligand. A non-competitive agonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to an allosteric site leading to a conformational change of the receptor site.
