ligand receptor binding

What is Ligand-Receptor Binding?

Ligand-receptor binding is a fundamental mechanism in toxicology that involves the interaction between a ligand, often a drug or toxin, and a receptor, typically a protein on a cell surface or within a cell. This binding can initiate a cascade of biochemical events leading to a physiological response. Understanding this interaction is crucial for assessing the toxicity of chemicals and drugs.
