Employing a wide range of examples from
G-protein-coupled receptors and
ligand-gated ion channels, this detailed, single-source reference illustrates the principles of pharmacological analysis and receptor classification that are the basis of rational drug design. Explains the experimental and theoretical methods used to characterize interactions between ligands and receptors-providing the pharmacological information needed to solve treatment problems and facilitate the drug design process! Demonstrating the achievements of the receptor-based approach in therapeutics and indicating
future directions, Receptor-Based Drug Design · introduces novel computer-assisted strategies for the design of…
