G protein-coupled receptors are at a central node of all cell communications. Investigating their molecular functioning is therefore crucial for both academic purposes and drug design. However, getting the receptors as isolated, stable and purified proteins for such studies still stumbles over their ...
What contributes to the secondary structure of a protein? How are G protein-coupled receptors and receptor protein-tyrosine kinases different in terms of their response to a ligand binding to them - receiving a signal? (Explain what the receptor does, not the signaling pathway aft...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the main mediators of such reactions. When GPCR binds to external signaling molecules, the G protein’s alpha subunit is activated. Adenylate cyclase is further activated, and the generation of cAMP is promoted then. After cAMP is generated, it ...

The endocannabinoid system consists of the endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), cannabinoid receptors and the enzymes that synthesise and degrade endocannabinoids. Many of the effects of cannabinoids and endocannabinoids are mediated by two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), CB1 and CB2, although...
[Citation66] evaluated models of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) generated both by AF2 and traditional template-based methods, comparing them to experimentally determined structures. They found that AF2 models capture binding pocket structures more accurately than traditional homology models, with ...
