The program deals with:
- the location of hormone receptors within the cell taking both
glucocorticoids and oestrogens as examples
- the biological effects of oestrogens
- the speed of response following receptor activation
- the detailed structure of the receptors and how interaction
takes place with the ligand including tthe involvement of HSP90
and the "zinc fingers"
- the nature of drug receptor binding
- facilitation of gene transcription
- the uses of the agonists and antagonists at the oetrogen receptor.
