'Providing an introduction to the study of drug receptors, the Textbook of receptor pharmacology discusses quantitative descriptions of functional studies with agonists and antagonists; quantitative descriptions of ligands binding to receptors; the molecular structures of drug receptors; and the elements that transport the signal from the activated receptor to the intracellular compartment. This third edition features results from recent research on how the structure of receptors determines the interaction between the receptor and the signal transducer. This edition also offers new information on ligand binding receptor studies that use newly developed techniques'--Provided by publisher.
