Summary
This
volume aims to describe a
complementary range of molecular, cell biological, and in vivo protocols used to investigate
the structure–function of nuclear receptors, together with experimental
approaches that may lead to new drugs to selectively target nuclear
receptor-associated diseases. The Nuclear
Receptor Superfamily, Second Edition will benefit those starting out in the
nuclear receptor research field as well as to more established researchers who
wish to apply different methods to a particular receptor or research problem.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series
format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the
necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory
protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative
and cutting-edge, The Nuclear Receptor
Superfamily, Second Edition aims to ensure successful results in the
further study of this vital field.
