Molecular pharmacology examines drug–receptor interactions at the molecular level, including G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling, ion-channel modulation, and enzyme inhibition. It supplies the mechanistic vocabulary — affinity, efficacy, cooperativity — used throughout target identification and in-vitro screening.
