Pharmacological Biochemistry: Drug-Receptor Interactions & Pharmacokinetics

Drug-receptor interactions refer to the binding of drugs to receptors, which can be either inside the cell or on the cell membrane. The interaction of a drug with a particular receptor is described by the terms affinity, potency, and efficacy. Drug-receptor interactions can be classified into agonists, antagonists, and partial agonists. The drug-receptor interaction is […]

Pharmacological Biochemistry: Topics and Course Outline

Pharmacological biochemistry is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles of biochemistry and pharmacology to understand how drugs interact with biological systems at the molecular level. The following are some key topics typically covered in a pharmacological biochemistry course: Drug-Receptor Interactions: – Mechanisms of drug binding to receptors – Types of drug receptors
