The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and associated peripheral G proteins underpin a multitude of physiological processes. The GPCRs represent one of the largest superfamilies in the human genome and are a significant target for bioactive and drug discovery programs. It is estimated that greater than 50% of all drugs, including those in development, currently target GPCRs. Many of the characterized GPCRs have known ligands; however, approximately 20% of GPCRs are described as orphan GPCRs, apparent GPCRs that share the generic high-level structure charact- istic of GPCRs but whose endogenous ligand is not known. Therefore, it is expected that the field ... Read more

Reviews for G-Protein-Coupled Receptors in Drug Discovery
From the reviews: “To fully understand the GPCR drug discovery process one should … have wide knowledge of the methods/protocols used in this process. This book serves this exact purpose. … It’s biggest strength is a clear description of every aspect of GPCR drug discovery process, which is easy to understand even for a non-expert in the respective field. ...
