"Ligand-Receptor Interactions: A Crucial Step in Cellular Communication"
A ligand is a molecule that binds to a specific site on a target protein or receptor, typically influencing the protein's activity. Ligands can be small molecules, ions, or even larger biomolecules like peptides or nucleic acids. They play essential roles in various biochemical and pharmacological processes by triggering or inhibiting specific cellular responses. Ligands can act as agonists (activating the receptor) or antagonists (blocking the receptor), and they are integral to drug design and discovery, as well as in understanding physiological processes such as enzyme regulation and immune response.
