Abstract
Characterization, a word often used in the chemical/biochemical and biological sciences, refers in each of these disciplines to distinct but certainly complementary analytical approaches to defining intrinsic properties of a particular compound or activity (including bio-, immuno-, radio- etc. activities). Here we describe some aspects of our research efforts at characterizing the decapeptide GnRH (gonadotropin hormone releasing hormone) using analogs as probes for the study of receptor binding and activation.
