Schematic view illustrating the specificity. (a) Conventional specificity: the same ligand (red) binding to diverse receptors (green) with the corresponding energy spectrum. (b) Intrinsic specificity: a particular ligand binding to diverse binding states (modes) of its receptor. (c) Conventional specificity: the same receptor with diverse ligands.[ |
