Toxin binding is a research area that focuses on understanding how toxins interact with specific receptors or molecules in the body. This research aims to identify the mechanisms by which toxins bind to their target molecules, such as proteins or cell membranes, and how this binding leads to toxic effects in living organisms. By studying toxin binding, researchers can gain insights into the development of antidotes or treatments for toxin exposure, as well as potential mechanisms for detoxification or neutralization of toxins in the body.
