 From that picture, it is clear that it is simply impossible to gather all of 
the drug molecules on one side of the membrane.  They have bound to both sides; 
there's no changing that since it's not an imaging issue.  If some were bound 
and others were simultaneously still free in the water layer, it could be done. 
  In this case, it cannot.
