G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the largest families of cell surface proteins in the human body that recognize hormones, neurotransmitters, and drugs. These receptors regulate a wide ...
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 have uncovered the ...
The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.
A recent study published in Engineering delves into the complex mechanisms of drug addiction, highlighting the crucial role of astrocytic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This research offers ...
Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown process that occurs during protein synthesis in the cell. They examined how ...
This new technique for studying cell receptors could have sweeping implications for drug development
Researchers created a tool capable of comprehensively mapping crucial interactions underlying drug efficacy in one superfamily of cell receptors. One in every three FDA-approved drugs targets a single ...
Drug discovery requires two separate steps: checking whether a drug can bind to a harmful molecule or its receptor, and ...

Why some breast cancers evade treatment: Protein secreted by T cells may explain resistant tumors
Up to 20% of hormone receptor-positive breast cancers don't respond to antiestrogen therapies. A study led by researchers at ...
Understanding the thermodynamic basis of ligand recognition by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), especially in terms of ...
