WHAT IS SIMULATION? Computer simulation is the discipline of designing a model of an actual or theoretical physical system, executing the model on a digital computer, and analyzing the execution output.
Efficacy is defined as the maximum effect a drug can produce, regardless of the dose. Potency is related to the amount of drug needed to produce a given effect; it is often quantified by the ED50 or EC50, which are respectively the drug dose or concentration that causes 50% of the maximum effect. Affinity is defined as a drug's ability to bind to a receptor.
competitive inhibitor. 1. A chemical that binds to or blocks another reagent from participating in a reaction. 2. A medication, hormone, or other intercellular messenger that binds and blocks the cellular receptor or target enzyme of another agent.Drugs that act by competitive inhibition may treat or prevent disease by inactivating pathogenic enzymes or by blocking the effects of hormones or precursor molecules..
