Questions and Answers

What does high binding site specificity in a drug imply?

The drug acts selectively on specific cells and tissues. (correct)

The drug requires a high dosage to be effective.

The drug can interact with multiple types of receptors.

The drug can produce side effects on various tissues.

Which curve in Graph 1 represents a drug with the highest potency and efficacy?

Curve A

Curve C (correct)

Curve B

Curve D

In Graph 2, what does the higher response of ligand A at lower concentrations compared to ligand B indicate?

Ligand A is less potent than ligand B.

Ligand A is more selective and activates the receptor with higher affinity. (correct)

Ligand A has a larger binding site than ligand B.

Ligand A has a slower onset of action than ligand B.

Study Notes

Drug-Receptor Interaction

Drugs must be selective to be useful therapeutically or scientifically.
Selectivity means acting on specific cells and tissues.
Binding site specificity is crucial for drugs.
Drug targets (proteins) also exhibit high ligand specificity, binding only to certain molecules.

Drug-Receptor Interaction: Specificity

Drugs need high binding site specificity to target the right cells and tissues.
Proteins acting as drug targets also have high ligand specificity, interacting only with certain molecules.

Drug-Receptor Interaction: Selectivity

Selectivity is the degree to which a drug affects different receptors.
Graphs illustrate that different ligands (A and B) show different responses at different concentrations.
