Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The hormone and receptor is whether changed during the binding have to be determined. The binding force between a hormone and a receptor has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Chemical messengers: The vital function of body is controlled and coordinated by chemical messengers. Hormones and neurotransmitters are chemical messengers where hormones are released by endocrine systems to the blood whereas neurotransmitters are released by the nerve cells.

Noncovalent interactions like hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions and hydrophobic interactions make the messenger and receptor to hold together for delivering message.

Receptors: Receptors is a molecule or a part of molecule which interacts with a neurotransmitter, a hormone or other molecules which are biochemically active so that a response is initiated in a target cell.

Hormones: Hormones are chemical messengers which are secreted by the cell in endocrine system and are transported along the blood to stimulate the target cells having the corresponding receptors.
