Functional Group Blocking Reagents (253)

Functional group blockers are substances that bind to receptors and inhibit agonists from eliciting their effects. By occupying either the active site or an allosteric site on the receptor, they block agonists from binding and subsequently suppress receptor activity. While blockers possess an affinity for their target receptors, they lack intrinsic efficacy, thereby preventing agonists from activating the receptors.
