Functional basis of molecular diseases (Lectures- 2 hrs)
Faculty-in-Charge: Dr. Mayuren Candasamy
The lectures deal with dose response curves, knowledge regarding various molecular models of drug-receptor interaction like Molecular Models of Drug-Receptor Interaction including heterotrimeric and ternary complexes and operational model of drug action and various mechanisms of efficacy that include direct agonism, stimulus response mechanisms, estimation of agonist efficacy and indirect agonism. This will help students to understand the practicalities involved in the functional pharmacology which include different methods employed for measurement and comparison of drug response and various pre-requisites for the acquisition of reliable data.-
