The ability to clone large numbers of receptors and transporters for neurotransmitters, and then to produce specific mutations of these proteins, has yielded significant understanding of their pharmacological and functional properties, with still deeper insight obtainable through the application of computational and medicinal chemistry. In Molecular Neuropharmacology: Strategies and Methods, leading neuroscience investigators combine advanced chemistry with molecular modeling to produce a powerful collection of cutting-edge techniques for characterizing the ligand or substrate binding of neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. The procedures cover interdisciplinary interactions for monoamine transporters, amino acid transporters, ionotropic receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptors, GABA receptors, and other G protein-coupled receptors. Information about x-ray crystallographic analyses is included whenever available.
State-of-the-art and highly practical, Molecular Neuropharmacology: Strategies and Methods provides detailed accounts of the tools needed to understand how CNS neurons communicate and promises the development of novel therapeutic agents and strategies for many neurological diseases.
