The signals of cells and their environments often involve molecules or ligands that bind to a receptor, which can trigger a biochemical process in a cell. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) sit in ...

A multinational research team led by Dr. Adnan Sljoka (RIKEN), Prof. R. Scott Prosser (Univ. of Toronto) with collaborations with Dr. Duy Phuoc Tran and Prof. Akio Kitao (Tokyo Tech) and Prof. Roger K ...

GPCR dynamics, shown in purple as the human A 2A receptor, and elegant modifications in activation pathways (allostery) indicated by the blue arrow, are critical for enabling GPCRs to bind to multiple ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have evolved to recognize incredibly diverse extracellular ligands while sharing a common architecture and structurally conserved intracellular signaling partners.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key biological switches that transmit both internal and external stimuli into the cell interior. Among ...

Have you ever wondered how drugs reach their targets and achieve their function within our bodies? If a drug molecule or a ligand is a message, an inbox is typically a receptor in the cell membrane.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a diverse group of signaling proteins and are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. Of particular importance to the pharmaceutical ...

Have you ever wondered how drugs reach their targets and achieve their function within our bodies? If a drug molecule or a ligand is a message, an inbox is typically a receptor in the cell membrane.

Using advanced imaging methods, researchers have gained insight into how a common target of drugs sends cellular signals, a finding that may lead to better and more precise therapeutics. Roughly a ...
