how do agonists binding to receptors alter cellular processes and cha/nge cellular phenotype - alter expression level of protein and the turnover number of the enzyme stereospecificity - most drugs are asymmetric (chiral or optically active); one stereoisomers binds with much greater affinity to the specific receptor pharmacology - study of all compounds that interact with the body pharmacodynamics - what a drug does to the body. Includes the molecular mechanisms by which a drug acts phar...

Adaptation word used to describe a trait or character. Describes an evolutionary process - a process of phenotypic adjustment within individuals - infers that increasingly good fit between organism and environment is brought by the process acting on heritable genetic or epigenetic changes Acclimation phenotypic changes Adaptive trait distinct variant of a phenotype that enhances fitness that arose historically as a resolute of natural selection for its current biological role - it is inherited...

Parmacogenetics - the study of genetic differences in drug responses when referring to one gene Pharmacogenomics - the study of variances in drug response when studying all genes Phenotype - physical appearance/function from the genotype/environment Genetic polymorphism - differences in alleles usually a single nucleotide variation that causes a person to respond differently to a drug. drug polymorphism - effect of a patient's age, gender, size, body composition and other characterist...
