MOLECULAR RECOGNITION IN PHARMACOLOGY (HB 2024) Hardcover

This distinctive book explores the behavior of drug substances from the initial stage before contact through to the formation of molecular complexes. At the core of all living systems, molecular recognition plays a vital yet still largely mysterious role. In pharmacology, current research typically focuses on examining how drugs interact with specific biomolecules—such as receptors, enzymes, and ion channels—by forming complementary complexes. The findings also reveal how drugs avoid non-specific interactions. While this research path has proven highly valuable, the concept of molecular recognition extends far beyond these current pharmacological studies.
