Studies of receptor classification, operation and organization will be instrumental in our future understanding of cellular communication. Improved accuracy in categorizing ligands and in the experimental measurement of their reacting parameters, characterization of the working parts of receptors by noncatalytic biochemistry and new experimental developments in the dynamics, ontogeny and phylogeny of receptors may eventually unravel the code of action of hormones and drugs.
受体分类、作用机制及组织结构的研究将有助于我们未来对细胞通讯的理解。在配体分类及其反应参数实验测量方面提高准确性,通过非催化生物化学对受体工作部分进行表征,以及受体动力学、个体发生和系统发育方面的新实验进展,最终可能揭示激素和药物的作用密码。
