[Amino Acid Receptor Interaction involves non-covalent binding through intermolecular physical forces of attraction with a group of intrinsic membrane proteins that bind to and mediate the biological effects of small organic compounds containing an amino and carboxyl group that act as neurotransmitters (e.g., glutamic acid or aspartic acid) through modification of the activity of signal transduction pathways in target cells.
