G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are not only the largest protein family in the human genome but are also the single biggest target for therapeutic agents. Research into GPCRs is therefore growing at a fast pace and the range of techniques that can be applied to GPCRs is vast and continues to grow. This book provides an invaluable bench-side guide into the best and most up-to-date techniques for current and future research on GPCRs.

With contributions from leading international authorities, this book equips readers with clear and detailed protocols for both well-known and up-and-coming techniques along with hints and tips for success. All the methods have been tried and tested by leading international research labs and are presented in easy-to-follow stages along with a useful overview of each technique.

This book is an essential resource for all researchers in molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology and for graduate students.

The long-awaited remastered edition of the acclaimed graphic novel - including an introduction by Neil Gaiman. All love withers and dies... but for Chase Darrow, it is literally the kiss of death! Chase Darrow is a beautiful weapon. The US government gave her a sexual power that makes her utterly alluring - the perfect weapon for espionage. Yet to kiss a man leaves his lifeforce drained and means that no one can love her without paying the ultimate price. But Chase is now on the run from The Man - another government creation and the first superhero. All machismo, he is sent to bring Chase back, but which weapon will prove the most powerful - love or death? The Breathtaker Collection features the original four-part cult-classic, plus an all-new origin comic following The Man, by Marc Hempel (The Sandman, Heavy Metal, Hellraiser, Lucifer ) and Mark Wheatley (Johnny Quest, EZ Street, Frankenstein Mobster) and features a foreword by Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, American Gods, Good Omens). Remastered and reprinted, experience the original Breathtaker story in an all new light.

Alle Liebe vergeht und stirbt – und Chase Darrow bringt buchstäblich den Kuss des Todes. Ausgestattet mit einer unwiderstehlichen sexuellen Anziehung ist Chase Darrow die perfekte Spionin. Und tödlich dazu, denn wenn ein Mann sie Küsst, erschöpft sich seine Lebenskraft. Traumatisiert von ihrer Kraft sucht sie dennoch nach dem physischen und psychischen Kick, den sie ihr verleiht. Als sie zu weit geht, setzt ihr die Regierung ihren Trumpf auf sie an: "The Man" – ebenfalls eine Kreation der Regierung und der erste Superheld.
