Abstract:
Reviews devoted to drug-protein binding present mostly a variety of analytical methods applied to studying the unique process when the protein reversibly binds a low-molecular-weight substance-the drug. This report, however, reviews the great majority of papers presenting the application of one particular method introduced by Hummel and Dreyer in 1962: Measurement of protein-binding phenomena by gel filtration. The main criterion in reviewing published papers was the application of the Hummel-Dreyer method when the counterpart substances were the drug and the human plasma protein.

Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or within...
