Textbook of Receptor Pharmacology

Receptor Pharmacology Course at University College London

For the past four decades, University College London has offered a renowned course on receptor pharmacology.

Book Overview

Originating from a renowned course on receptor pharmacology, this text presents in-depth coverage of this rapidly expanding research area. The book combines current understanding of classical quantitative pharmacology and drug-receptor interactions with the basics of receptor structure and signal transduction mechanisms.

Focus Areas

It focuses on molecular investigation of receptor structure, quantitative functional studies of agonists and antagonists, ligand binding, and signal transduction at the cell membrane.

Updated Content

This edition includes updated chapters on receptor structure and signal transduction by G-proteins and tyrosine kinases as well as enhancements to the quantitative treatment of drug-receptor interactions. Several chapters contain problems and worked-out solutions.
