About one-third of all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration target the largest family of cell membrane receptors called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs are indispensable for ...
Through an international collaboration, scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have leveraged data science, pharmacology and structural information to conduct an atomic-level ...
Nature study describes a de novo protein design and high-throughput living-cell screening platform for creating miniproteins that modulate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a major class of drug ...
Adhesion GPCRs are a large class of surface proteins that recognize chemical and mechanical stimuli in the body. The rapidly expanding body of knowledge on the therapeutic targeting of these receptors ...
The discovery of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromers has revealed a new level of complexity in their functional characteristics. This review explores a variety of methodologies and live cell ...
Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important, potential drug targets for the treatment of metabolic disorders, such as obesity. GPCRs ...
This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Brian Kobilka (Stanford) and Robert Lefkowitz ...
Signal transduction The cellular process that converts a signal, such as a hormone, growth factor, neurotransmitter, cytokine, mechanical force, or environmental cue, into biochemical changes inside ...
Scientists reveal how G protein-coupled receptors, major therapeutic drug targets, decode critical properties of their ligands. Through an international collaboration, scientists at St. Jude ...
