Opis

This work covers the principles of allosterism in reference to drug action and examines individual ionotropic and G-protein coupled receptor systems - helping those new to the subject understand the importance of allosterism and providing those already working in the field with specific reference information.

Recenzje

"…This book provides valuable theoretical and practical information on receptor allosterism and its potential importance in the design and development of novel therapeutics. It is a unique offering in stressing the importance of allosterism in drug discovery. This makes it a particularly important contribution for industrial and academic scientists and clinicians with an interest in new approaches for designing safer, more selective, and efficacious drugs."
