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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
Researchers used GPS-like tracking to observe how a key G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) moves, revealing the core mechanism behind vital body functions. G protein-coupled receptors are embedded in ...
