Answer:

To determine the effect of toxin binding, you perform a Competitive Binding Experiment

They are important because:

1. Validate a direct binding assay

2. Confirm whether or not a drug binds to the receptor

3. determine and explore how low-affinity drugs and receptors interact and it's resultant effects
