Summary

• This volume provides a concise, up-to-date presentation of methods (including molecular, genetic, biochemical, and biophysical) which have been used successfully in studying the structure and function of GPCRs. With contributions from international leaders in the field, the editor provides overviews of various techniques, followed by in-depth descriptions of basic procedures and discussions of critical experimental parameters.
• Structure-Function Analysis of G Protein-Coupled Receptors is an invaluable reference for receptor biochemists and biological chemists, pharmacologists, and neuroscientists as well as molecular biologists, cell biologists, and structural biologists worldwide.
