Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Technologies

This volume provides properties, biological function, methods,and approaches for manipulating nAChRs in different organisms. NicotinicAcetylcholine Receptor Technologies guides readers through moleculartechniques and behavioral tests used to investigate nicotinic drugs,chronoamperometry, emerging technologies and methods for the analysis ofnAChRs, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), fluorescence techniques, spectralconfocal, allosteric modulators of a7-nAChRs, and a comprehensive evolutionalrelation for most nAChR subunits, in both vertebrate and invertebrate species. Written for the popular Neuromethods series, chapters include thekind of detail and key implementation advice that ensures successful results inthe laboratory. Authoritative and practical, Nicotinic AcetylcholineReceptor Technologies aims to ensure successful results in thefurther study of this vital field.
