Q

How does a drug work?

A

Logan binds to receptor
They receive (receptors) chemical information from other molecules. Such as drugs, neurotransmitter, hormones (ligand) outside the cell. These outside molecules bind to receptors on the cell, activating the receptor and generating a biochemical or electrical signal inside the cell
