Micro-pharmacokinetics: Quantifying local drug concentration at live cell membranes

Abstract Fundamental equations for determining pharmacological parameters, such as the binding affinity of a ligand for its target receptor, assume a homogeneous distribution of ligand, with concentrations in the immediate vicinity of the receptor being the same as those in the bulk aqueous phase. I...
