Summary "G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Structure, Function, and Ligand Screening is not a revision but rather a continuation of G Protein-Coupled Receptors, published in 1999. This newer work covers techniques in the field of GPCRs, which either were not treated in the original or have since been developed. In particular, it places significant emphasis on the crystal-lography of rhodopsin, which was first discovered in 2000, and is still the only GPCR that has had its atomic structure revealed." "Written by those experts who pioneered the very methods discussed, G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Structure, Function, and Ligand Screening reviews the state of research on orphan GPCRs. Ultimately, the work is intended to elucidate the structural basis for the GPCR-ligand interaction and the molecular mechanisms underlying the function and regulation of GPCRs. This will allow researchers to utilize their interactions with ligands for drug design."--BOOK JACKET
