GPCRs G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins containing seven membrane-spanning α- helices (7TMs) and form a major class of integral膜蛋白. Integral membrane proteins are difficult to study due to their inherent need for lipids as stabilizers of their structure and function. Detergent...
In mGlu-like receptors, the VFT is connected to the 7TM via an 80-residue domain containing nine conserved cysteines called the CRD. It was shown that the CRD is required for function of the mGlu and CaS receptors (Hu et al., 2000), and mutations in the CRD of the sweettaste recep...

Two-thirds of signaling hormones and one-third of approved drugs exert their effects by binding and modulating the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activation. While the activation mechanism for monomeric GPCRs has been well-established, little is kno

ADDITIONAL DRIVING ENERGY The binding energy of agonists may vary significantly between receptors and between different agonists for the same receptor. In addition, there are usually energy barrier(s) (e.g., DGfà in Fig. 2) between the ground and active states, which affect the kinetics of ...
The MSC results of GPCRs can be well explained by estimating the selective pressure of GPCRs, as exemplified by investigating the largest two subfamilies, peptide receptors (PRs) and olfactory receptors (ORs), in class A GPCRs. PRs are decomposed into three groups due to a positive selective...
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of small membrane proteins, such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), remains challenging. Pushing the performance boundaries of the technique requires quantitative knowledge about the contribution of multiple factors. Here, we present an in-depth analysis and op...
