Can the Key-Lock Model Predict Adverse Drug Reactions?
While the key-lock model is useful in predicting drug interactions with intended targets, it does not always account for off-target effects, which can lead to adverse drug reactions. These off-target interactions occur when a drug binds to unintended receptors, leading to side effects. Understanding the nuances of key-lock interactions can help in identifying potential off-target effects during the drug development process.
