The British Journal of Pharmacology has just published a free guide to receptors and channels by S. P. H. Alexander, A. Mathie and J.A. Peters. From the introduction: "The great proliferation of drug targets in recent years has driven the need to organise and condense the information in a logical way. This is the underlying reason for this Guide to Receptors and Channels, distributed with the British Journal of Pharmacology. Our intent is to produce an authoritative but user-friendly publication, which allows a rapid overview of the key properties of a wide range of established or potential pharmacological targets. The aim is to provide information succinctly so that a newcomer to a particular target group can identify the main elements “at a glance”."
