title: Receptors in the future.
abstract: 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.
