The first step in these often complex communications is the moment a molecule binds to a receptor on or in a cell, prompting changes that can trigger further signals that propagate across systems. From food tasting and blood oxygenation during breathing to drug therapy, receptor binding is the fundamental mechanism that unlocks a multitude of biological functions and responses.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-10-method-tuning-biomolecular-receptors-affinity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Researchers develop a method for tuning biomolecular receptors for affinity and cooperativity<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our biological processes rely on a system of communications\u2014cellular signals\u2014that set off chain reactions in and between target cells to produce a response.
