Download or read book Receptor-ligand Interactions written by E. C. Hulme and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the last in a set of three books covering the practical aspects of receptor biochemistry, receptor-effector coupling, and neurotransmitter/hormone receptor-ligand interactions. It focuses on the preparation, performance and interpretation of receptor-ligand binding studies, which are widely used in mainstream pharmacology, both in academic laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry. Binding studies are difficult to effectively perform, hence expert guidance and many practical tips are given throughout. The book contains a wealth of valuable protocols, and will be a useful bench manual for researchers in pharmacology, neuroscience, molecular biology and biochemistry.
