Reed–Merrell model

The Reed–Merrell model is a framework used in chemistry to describe how molecules, particularly drugs, interact with biological receptors. It emphasizes the importance of specific binding between a molecule’s structural features and the receptor’s shape and chemical properties. The model helps explain how drugs can activate or block receptors, influencing biological responses. Essentially, it provides a systematic way to understand and predict how different molecules will behave in biological systems based on their structure and the receptor's characteristics, aiding in the design of more effective pharmaceuticals.
