This document discusses the methodology for purifying, reconstituting, and characterizing receptors and synthetic analogues of epinephrine. It describes how receptor proteins are isolated from natural sources through cloning or from cell membranes using techniques like ultrasonication and centrifugation. The isolated receptors are then solubilized using detergents and purified using affinity, ion exchange, or size exclusion chromatography. The purified receptors can be reconstituted into detergent micelles, bicelles, or nanodiscs to mimic the cell membrane environment. Characterization of the receptors involves studying their primary structure, post-translational modifications, ligand binding sites, and interactions with G-proteins. Synthetic analogues of epinephrine are also designed to mimic its
