G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the largest families of cell surface proteins in the human body that recognize ...
The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.
Taste, pain, or response to stress -- nearly all essential functions in the human body are regulated by molecular switches called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Researchers have uncovered the ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are expressed on the surface of cells and regulate a range of important functions. Because they are involved in so many sensory and physiological processes, ...
Researchers created a tool capable of comprehensively mapping crucial interactions underlying drug efficacy in one superfamily of cell receptors. One in every three FDA-approved drugs targets a single ...
Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown process that occurs during protein synthesis in the cell. They examined how ...
Understanding the thermodynamic basis of ligand recognition by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), especially in terms of ...
