Molecular Biology of Neuroreceptors and Ion Channels

Molecular Biology of Neuroreceptors and Ion Channels edited by Alfred Maelicke.

This workshop was the second of this series held on the island of santorini in the Cycladic Sea. The first one ("Mechanism of Action of the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor", NATO ASI Se­ ries H, vol. 10) took place in May 1986 and focused on what was at the time the best studied of all ne...
