Experimental Evidence of Molecular Fluctuations in Ligand Receptor Binding
Today, scientists have provided experimental evidence of molecular fluctuations in a ligand-receptor complex. This groundbreaking discovery could lead to a better understanding of how biological processes are regulated, as well as how drugs interact with their receptors. The study, conducted by researchers from the California Institute of Technology, investigated the role of fluctuations in the binding of a ligand, such as a drug, to its receptor. Their results showed that molecular fluctuations can affect the binding of ligands and their receptors in a way that is not currently understood. This could lead to new insights into how drugs interact with their receptors and how biological processes are regulated.
