Question

what do you mean by drugs? explain in brief.
​

Answer 1

$\underline{\underline{\huge\mathfrak{your\:answer}}}$

DRUGS

are chemicals of low molecular masses ( N 100-500 u )

=> These interact with macromolecular targets and produce a biological response.

MECHANISM:-

=> A drug travels through the human system in order to reach the target.

=> So the drugs should be designed in a such a way that it reaches the target without getting metabolized in between.

More information :-

=> Some drugs, instead of binding to the enzyme's active site bind to a different site of enzyme, which is called allosteric site.

=> Due to this action the shape of the active site is changed to the extent that substrate does not recognise it.

=> Drugs are used in medicines i.e., all the medicines are also drugs.
