USENET name: bionet.molbio.proteins.7tms_r Status: Moderated One line Description: Research on G-protein coupled receptor systems Moderation address: 7tms_r@net.bio.net (7tms_r-moderator@net.bio.net is an alias for 7tms_r@net.bio.net) Moderator: Lee F. Kolakowski, Jr. Mailing list name: G-PROTEIN-COUPLED-RECEPTOR E-mail address: 7tms_r@net.bio.net Charter: The purpose of G-PROTEIN-COUPLED-RECEPTOR/bionet.molbio.proteins.7tms_r is to function as a forum for discussion for researchers involved in the cloning, characterization and analysis of members of the super-family of heptahelical signal transducing receptors which interact with heterotrimeric G-proteins. Associated topics of molecular pharmacology, protein structure/function, characterization of orphan receptors, and other questions or discussions revolving around these proteins are also germane. The newsgroup will facilitate exchange of information, protocols, ideas and function as a forum for discussion. Subscribers are welcome from universities or any academic institutions, government agencies, medical institutions, and industrial or commercial organizations. Contributions within the functions outlined above are encouraged. Moderation Policy: Mass-posted commercial messages, chain letters, and similar postings not germane to G-protein coupled receptors or signal transduction will be deleted without comment. Inappropriate messages posted in good faith will be returned to the sender. Unprofessional messages of any kind will be deleted without comment. Messages not strictly within the charter but likely to be of interest to many subscribers (e.g., messages describing non G-protein mediated signaling) will be accepted. Messages about commercial content relevant to G-protein coupled receptor systems will be allowed providing the details of the system and the relevance to the newsgroup are the focus of the message, and the poster does not stand to gain financially from the product. Use of the newsgroup for commercial purposes is prohibited (except as outlined above at the discretion of the moderator). Dr. Lee F.
