Why is the Switch Function Indispensable in Molecular Receptors

Introduction Why is the Switch Function Indispensable in Molecular Receptors  

Nature is filled with molecules and ions, and we are frequently required to measure the concentrations of selected ions and small organic molecules both in in vivo and in in vitro processes. One possible strategy in this research field is the direct
