The Renaissance in GPCR Research and Drug Discovery

The Renaissance in GPCR Research and Drug Discovery: Receptor Function, Receptor Structure, New Techniques, Characterization of Drug Activity, Drug Discovery is a reference aiming at helping pharmacology researchers to utilize new aspects of the GPCR function for therapeutic advantage and the application of new types of chemicals to modify GPCR behavior. New advances in recent years re-vitalized GPCR discovery, opening avenues never before explored with the possibility to find new drugs. The book's content is divided in five parts. The initial group of chapters cover the evolution of GPCRs as drug targets for therapy. The second part of the book is dedicated to explain GPCR mechanisms for novel function. The following part covers new technologies to investigate GPCR function, that are behind a new wave of research and discovery in this area. The fourth part of the book cover new and recently approved therapeutic modalities for GPCRs. The final part provides a broad coverage of GPCR ligands. Edited and authored by leading researchers in this field, The Renaissance in GPCR Research and Drug Discovery is the ideal reference for drug discovery researchers to understand the current developments in GPCR research. Medicinal chemists will also benefit of the book as will AI researchers investigating this particular drug discovery space.
