The main focus of pharmacodynamics is the study of the effects of drugs on the body.

Most drugs exert their effects on the body by binding to specific receptors.
This binding causes a conformational change in the receptor, triggering a response.

The formation of a drug-receptor complex initiates a signaling cascade, leading to a physiological response.

Drugs act as ligands, binding to receptors to initiate signal transduction pathways.
Receptors play a crucial role in signal transduction, transmitting the signal from the drug-receptor complex to the intracellular environment.
