GPCR Signalling Complexes – Synthesis, Assembly, Trafficking and Specificity
Main Question: G protein coupled receptors are involved in highly efficient and specific activation of signalling pathways. How do GPCR signalling complexes get assembled to generate such specificity? In order to answer this question, we need to understand how receptors and their signalling partners are synthesized, folded and quality-controlled in order to generate functional proteins. Then, we need to understand how each partner of the signalling complex is selected to join a complex, and what makes this assembly possible. GPCRs are known to be able to function as oligomers, what drives the assembly into oligomers and what will be the effects of such organization on specificity and efficacy of signal transduction. Once the receptor complexes are assembled, they need to reach different locations in the cell; what drives and controls the trafficking of GPCR signalling complexes. Finally, defects in synthesis, maturation or trafficking can alter functionality of GPCRs signalling complexes; how can we manipulate the system to make it function normally again? Pharmacological chaperones may just be part of the answer to this question.
Targeting Trafficking in Drug Development
Cellular trafficking is only recently identified as a site for therapeutic intervention. This book provides up to date information on the mechanism for exploiting this area for drug development as well as a clear understanding of the individual components of cellular trafficking. The authors are experts in their areas and the book features tables and figures that enable comparison and clear understanding.
Pharmakologie und Toxikologie
Die Pharmakologie scheint aus unendlich vielen Fakten zu bestehen. Hier finden Sie den ausgewogenen Mittelweg und die Vorteile von Kurzlehrbuch und Nachschlagewerk. Zu jeder Wirkstoffgruppe werden die physiologischen Grundlagen erklärt und anschließend Wirkmechanismus, Kinetik, unerwünschte Wirkungen, Interaktionen und Indikationen dargestellt. Und das alles übersichtlich strukturiert. Zu jedem Kapitel gibt es einen Abschnitt „Pharmakotherapie“, in dem Sie mit Beispielen und Therapieplänen lernen, wie die Theorie in die Praxis umgesetzt werden kann. Und mit dem Fallquiz können Sie Ihr Wissen gleich selbst anwenden. Eine besondere Hilfe für die Prüfung und das schnelle Wiederholen sind die Arzneimittel-Steckbriefe. Hier werden die wichtigsten Fakten noch einmal kompakt zusammengefasst. Mit diesem Buch können Sie gründlich lernen und schnell wiederholen!
Sensory Perception
Sensory perception: mind and matter aims at a deeper understanding of the many facets of sensory perception and their relations to brain function and cognition. It is an attempt to promote the interdisciplinary discourse between the neurosciences and psychology, which speaks the language of cognitive experiences, and philosophy, which has been thinking about the meaning and origin of consciousness since its beginning. Leading experts contribute to such a discourse by informing the reader about exciting modern developments, both technical and conceptual, and by pointing to the big gaps still to be bridged. The various chapters provide access to scientific research on sensory perception and the mind from a broad perspective, covering a large spectrum of topics which range from the molecular mechanisms at work in sensory cells to the study of the unconscious and to neurophilosophy.
Transporters as Drug Targets
As opposed to other books on the topic, this volume is unique in also covering emerging transporter targets. Following a general introduction to the importance of targeting transporter proteins with drugs, the book systematically presents individual transporter classes and explains their pharmacology and physiology. The text covers all transporter families with known or suspected importance as drug targets, including neurotransmitter transporters, ABC transporters, glucose transporters and organic ion transporters. The final part discusses recent advances in structural studies of transport proteins, assay methods for transport activity, and the systems biology of transporters and their regulation. With its focus on drug development issues, this authoritative overview is required reading for researchers in industry and academia targeting transport proteins for the treatment of disease.
G Protein Pathways, Part B: G Proteins and Their Regulators
This volume covers topics such as the structure and identification of functional domains of G proteins, and activation of G proteins by receptors or other regulators. The text takes an integrated approach to studying common experimental questions at many different levels related to G proteins. Methods related to G proteins using molecular modeling, systems biology, protein engineering, protein biochemistry, cell biology, and physiology are all accessible in the same volume. The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for more than forty years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. Now with more than 300 volumes (all of them still in print), the series contains much material still relevant today truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences.
Neuropharmacology of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS)
Designer drugs, or new psychoactive substances (NPS), are synthetic chemicals that mimic the effects of classic drugs of abuse. There has been an alarming worldwide increase in the abuse of NPS in recent years. NPS are cheap, easy to obtain, and often legally available. In this volume, leading experts summarize the latest studies regarding the molecular mechanisms of action, behavioral effects, and adverse consequences of popular NPS. Specific chapters clarify the differences between various types of NPS, namely: stimulants, cannabinoids and hallucinogens. Thus, this volume broadens our understanding of NPS and provides insight into the rapidly evolving “new drug” phenomenon.
Pharmakologie und Toxikologie
In diesem Buch werden alle wichtigen Arzneimittel, gegliedert nach Organsystemen, umfassend dargestellt. Dabei wird in jedem Kapitel neben Wirkmechanismus, Kinetik, unerwünschten Wirkungen, Interaktionen und Indikationen auch die Pharmakotherapie beschrieben. Die allgemeinen und die molekularen Grundlagen werden ausführlich erklärt und helfen, Wirkmechanismen besser zu verstehen. Um die große Menge an Lernstoff besser bewältigen zu können, gibt es ein durchdachtes didaktisches Konzept: • Arzneimittel-Steckbriefe für den schnellen Überblick • Lernziele am Kapitelanfang • Fallbeispiele für die Praxis • Cave- und Merksätze für die wichtigsten Fakten
