Nuclear receptor cofactor interactions as targets for new drug discovery

Book section · January 1, 2008 The classical models of nuclear receptor pharmacology held that agonists functioned by binding to their cognate receptors facilitating their conversion from an inactive form to one that was capable of activating transcription. By extrapolation, it was cons ... Full text Cite

Molecular Pharmacology of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors
