About one-third of all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration target the largest family of cell membrane receptors called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs are indispensable for ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at Duke University School of Medicine identifies a new way that G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) - targets of roughly one-third of FDA-approved drugs - ...

Signal transduction The cellular process that converts a signal, such as a hormone, growth factor, neurotransmitter, cytokine, mechanical force, or environmental cue, into biochemical changes inside ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane-embedded signalling proteins in humans, mediating responses to hormones, neurotransmitters, sensory stimuli and ...

Bottom-up construction of artificial cells helps elucidate the working mechanism of cells. Signal transduction from extracellular to intracellular artificial cells is essential for autonomous ...

The study also clarifies the functional role of the receptor's conserved sodium-binding pocket, showing that sodium egress strongly promotes activation-related conformational states, including a ...

Computational analysis using rigidity-theory indicates that activation of the human adenosine A 2A receptor (shown here) is regulated by long-range allosteric communication pathways (highlighted in ...
