Question:

What is the action of drugs at receptors?

Author: Debbie Smith 447c



Answer:

Drugs work by mimicking the chemical structure of the natural compound (perfectly or partially). Can act as agonists activating the receptor like the natural compound. Or can act as an antagonist blocking the receptor and preventing the natural compound from activating it.
