Synopsis

This book considers the relationship between structure and function in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and the implications for drug design.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Jes-s Giraldo is based at the Institut de Neurociþncies and Unitat de BioestadÝstica, Universitat Aut=noma de Barcelona. He works mainly in the field of mathematical modelling of GPCRs and has collaborated with a number of experimentalists, some of them leaders in the GPCR field. This has given him a deep understanding of the relationships between theory and experimentation in the area and a holistic view of the topic. Jean-Philippe Pin got his PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Montpellier 2, France. He participated in the discovery of the metabotropic glutamate receptors and demonstrated synergism between various glutamate receptor subtypes for the activation of phospholipase A2. Subsequently, he worked as a post doctoral fellow at the Salk Institute where he cloned and characterized new mGlu receptor splice variants. In 1992, he set up a research team working on the structure function relationship of mGlu receptors in the CNRS laboratory in Montpellier. Currently, he heads the Molecular Pharmacology Department within the Institute of Functional Genomics, Montpellier, France where his research focuses on the molecular and cellular dynamics of GPCRs and has led to major new concepts in the GPCR field.
