Schousboe, professor of pharmacology, and Br<:a>uner-Osborne, professor of medical chemistry, The Danish University of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Denmark, present contributions from leading neuroscience investigators combining advanced chemistry with molecular modeling to produce a collection of techniques for characterizing the ligand or substrate binding of neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. Procedures cover interdisciplinary interactions for monoamine transporters, amino acid transporters, ionotropic receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptors, GABA receptors, and other G protein-coupled receptors. Information about X-ray crystallographic analyses is included as well. The book's readership includes researchers in academia and industry working on the molecular pharmacology of receptors and transporters. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
