Irreversible kinetics = strategic lever in drug design.

Receptor pharmacology has evolved.


Irreversible interactions are no longer niche curiosities — they’re strategic levers that shape how molecules behave in vivo and whether candidates advance or stall in discovery.


Inside Terry’s Corner, you’ll gain access to focused, high-impact modules built for teams who need to engineer binding kinetics, not just potency. These lessons bridge molecular pharmacology with real-world design strategy, giving discovery teams the tools to make smarter decisions earlier in the pipeline.


Here’s what’s covered in this week’s lesson:


  • Target depletion vs. replenishment dynamics — how offset rates control exposure windows, shape therapeutic durability, and influence dosing intervals.

  • Structured tissue penetration challenges — why high-affinity molecules stall at the periphery and how to optimize kinetic profiles for deeper reach.

  • Quantifying irreversible activity (K_inact / K_I) — turning persistent binding into measurable design parameters that guide candidate optimization.


Join to learn the same principles guiding successful drug programs today.
