"…This book provides valuable theoretical and practical information on receptor allosterism and its potential importance in the design and development of novel therapeutics. It is a unique offering in stressing the importance of allosterism in drug discovery. This makes it a particularly important contribution for industrial and academic scientists and clinicians with an interest in new approaches for designing safer, more selective, and efficacious drugs."-Doody's Review Services
