This document discusses key concepts in pharmacodynamics including how drug receptor sites can be part of various cellular components like DNA, enzymes, and cell membranes. It also describes the "lock and key" relationship between drugs and receptors, where drugs produce pharmacological effects by binding to specific receptor sites.
