What is Protein Binding: Reversible vs Irreversible about?
Drug-protein binding can be reversible or irreversible. Reversible binding involves weaker interactions like hydrogen bonds or van der Waals forces, and the bound drug is inactive. Irreversible binding occurs through covalent bonds and can cause toxicity over long periods. Common plasma proteins that drugs reversibly bind to include albumin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, and globulins. Albumin binds many weak acids through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and is a major transport protein in plasma. A
