With its particular emphasis on the constitutive activity of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)s, this book comprehensively discusses an important biological process that has not yet been covered in such depth in any other existing books on GPCRs. The international team of highly distinguished authors addresses in detail current models and concepts, to introduce medicinal chemists, physiologists, pharmacologists, and medical researchers into the advances in the understanding of GPCR activation and constitutive activity. In addition, the book provides an overview on methods of investigating constitutive GPCR activity. The text is well illustrated by selected experimental data and schemes.The chapters are all cross-referenced with each other and cover general mechanisms, methodological approaches and cover selected important GPCR systems, the consequences for drug action, including, side effects, and rational drug design for GPCR targets. A highly recommended reference for researchers in academia and industry. The authors addresses in detail current models and concepts, so as to introduce pharmaceutical chemists, physiologists and medical researchers to the advances in the understanding of GPCR activation and constitutive activity, and provides an overview of the methods of investigating GPCR activity. The text is backed by abundant case studies and methodological advice for analysing GPCRs, covering selected pharmacologically relevant GPCR systems, the consequences for drug action, including unwanted side effects, and rational drug design for GPCR targets. It is a highly practical reference for researchers in academia and industry.

Review:
"In conclusion, this volume can be highly useful resource for pharmaceuticals chemists, physiologists and medical researchers working both in academia and industry."
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules

..".extremely informative and generally easy to read and understand. It is an important reference book for researchers (medicinal chemists, physiologists, and pharmacologists) working on the most favorite group of drug targets - the GPCRs."
ChemMedChem

"This book is an excellent review of the body of evidence describing constitutive GPCR activity. It is of general interest to pharmacologists, structural biologists, biochemists, and medicinal chemists with an interest in GPCR signaling pathways and as such would be a good addition to personal or departmental libraries of many basic scientists."
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry

"I can strongly recommend this book as the concepts and examples have mostly been poorly taken into account with the daily work in the laboratory. The book would have great use in pharmacologically oriented laboratories in academics as well as different stages in drug development in pharmaceutical industry. It is more or less a "must" in the libraries in academia and in industry looking on all kinds of GPCR research."
Arch. Pharm. Chem. Life Sci.
From the Back Cover:
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important conformational "switches" in transmembrane signal transduction and represent the largest gene family in the human genome reflecting the importance of GPCRs as targets for hormones, neurotransmitters and local mediators in virtually any cell type of the human body. Since GPCRs discriminate well between natural and synthetic ligands and because of their localization in the plasma membrane, they are the single most important class of drug targets.
With its particular emphasis on the constitutive activity of GPCRs, this book recognizes a biological process that has not yet been covered by existing books on GPCRs. An international team of highly distinguished authors discusses current models and concepts in detail, introducing the advances made in our understanding GPCR activation and constitutive activity. In addition, the text provides an overview on the methods of investigating GPCR activity.

From the contents:
PART I: GENERAL CONCEPTS
Models of constitutive activity
Molecular mechanisms of GPCR activation
Impact of G proteins on constitutive GPCR activity
Physiological and therapeutic relevance of constitutive GPCR activity
Methodological Approaches
PART II: SELECTED GPCR SYSTEMS
Chemokine receptors and human disease
a-Adrenoceptors
?-Adrenoceptors
Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Histamine receptors
5-HT receptors
Virally pirated Chemokine receptors and human disease

Illustrated by numerous experimental examples, schemes and methodological advice for analyzing GPCRs, this is a highly practical reference for pharmaceutical chemists, physiologists and medical researchers in academia and industry.
