RECEPTORS
Specific molecules in a biologic system with whichdrugs interact to produce changes in the functionof the system
Determine the quantitative relations between doseor concentration of drug and pharmacologiceffects
Selective in choosing a drug molecule to bind toavoid constant activation by promiscuous bindingof many different molecules
Changes its function upon binding in such a waythat the function of the biologic system is alteredin order to have pharmacologic effect
