G Protein-Coupled Receptors

Covering recently developed methods in membrane-bound receptors, this book emphasizes receptor structure and function, knowledge of which is essential to the study of signal transduction. The book focuses on current methods used to study GPCRs, particularly methods related to studies that become possible by the molecular cloning of GPCRs. Most of the chapters include step-by-step protocols which are intended to be useful for inexperienced researchers as well as specialists.
