A number of cell surface and nuclear receptors mediate their actions via dimerization. While this has been well established, the dimerization of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) (that ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins with seven membrane-spanning helices. Upon binding to a ligand – which can range from small molecules like cyclic AMP to ...

The 2012 Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded to Robert Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka for groundbreaking discoveries that reveal the inner workings of G-protein-coupled receptors. Professor David ...
