New research combines two powerful imaging techniques to study the complete structure of a common aGPCR, including how its long and complex extracellular region interacts with the transmembrane region ...
Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...
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 at the University of ...
Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...
The gray portion of this schematic represents a nanodisc, where for the first time researchers were able to replicate the native membrane environment (red dots) of a T-cell receptor (cyan). One of the ...
Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...
In a new study published in GEN’s sister peer-review journal, GEN Biotechnology, titled, “Exploring Structure-Function Relationships in Engineered Receptor Performance Using Computational Structure ...
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors have a large extracellular region (shown in green and orange) that extends into space outside the cell. Almost 35% of drugs approved by the Food and Drug ...
