A Short History of the Drug Receptor Concept: Science, Technology and Medicine in Modern History

Autor C. Prüll, A. Maehle, R. Halliwell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 iun 2009
The concept of specific receptors for drugs, hormones and transmitters lies at the very heart of biomedicine. This book is the first to consider the idea from its 19th century origins in the work of John Newport Langley and Paul Ehrlich, to its development of during the 20th century and its current impact on drug discovery in the 21st century.
