Nmda Receptors

This fully updated volume explores N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), and the structure-function relations, principles, and rules that govern how NMDARs operate in brain processing under normal and pathological conditions. With chapters from leading laboratories around the world, this book examines the expression and purification of diverse NMDA receptor subtypes, gene targeting and generation of conditional NMDAR mutant mouse lines, studies of NMDARs in zebrafish, electrophysiological studies, NMDARs modeling in silico, drug development with artificial intelligence, and much more. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and up-to-date, NMDA Receptors: Methods and Protocols, SecondEdition serves as an ideal guide to the diversity of possible approaches in the field of NMDARs and the progress that has been made in recent years.
