RE: Communication in Biological Systems: Biosignaling (Signal Transduction)

in #steemstem7 years ago

Hello @kingabesh

Drugs are tailored to specific receptors and only bind to those receptors causing biological effects to take place. This actually means that drugs do not introduce new actions in biological systems but rather alter an already existing physiological action (increasing or reducing).

Just like the way enzyme substrates bind to surfaces, right? However, I just learnt a new thing here: that drugs don't introduce anything new to a biological system but bind to existing structures, altering them physiologically.

It is interesting to know that all these complex processes happen before communication can be effected.

ah yeah man, drugs just alter an existing physiological condition. cheers
