What are the Methods Used to Study Ligand-Receptor Binding?
Various methods are employed to study ligand-receptor interactions, including radioligand binding assays, which use radioactively labeled ligands to quantify binding affinity and kinetics. Other techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and isothermal titration calorimetry provide real-time data on binding dynamics and thermodynamics. These methods help elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which ligands interact with receptors.
