Toxicological Chemistry - relates the aspects of toxicology to the chemical structure and reactivity of the toxin. It is concerned with the chemical interaction of the toxin with the receptor that gives the physiological response. The ultimate aim is to relate functional group chemistry of both toxin and receptor to the interaction Toxicity - the degree to which a substance causes damage to an organism Acute toxicity - the adverse effects resulting from a single exposure‚ or exposure over
