Video from Professor G - Pharmacology on YouTube

Describe the forces involved in drug–receptor interaction (ionic, hydrogen, van der Waals, hydrophobic, covalent) and relate bond type to reversibility and duration of action.

Why this video

Explains how van der Waals, hydrogen, ionic, and covalent bonds mediate drug–receptor binding and shows how covalent adducts lead to irreversible inhibition.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It does not cover hydrophobic interactions or explicitly link bond types to receptor turnover and the clinical duration of drug action.

Heads up

Ensure bond energies are noted in kcal/mol as required by this course.
