Adhesion GPCRs are a large class of surface proteins that recognize chemical and mechanical stimuli in the body. The rapidly expanding body of knowledge on the therapeutic targeting of these receptors ...
GPCR dynamics, shown in purple as the human A 2A receptor, and elegant modifications in activation pathways (allostery) indicated by the blue arrow, are critical for enabling GPCRs to bind to multiple ...
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 ...
The GPCRact AI model goes beyond AlphaFold3 by predicting whether drugs functionally activate G-protein-coupled receptors ...
Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...
GPCRs are the largest receptor class, affecting almost every aspect of human physiology, with 35% of all approved drugs acting on GPCRs. They regulate sensory and neuronal signaling, as well as a ...
This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Sam Hoare, Luciana Leo, Anastasia Schultz, and Thom Hughes and presented at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 in affiliation ...
Chemerin is a key adipokine—a signaling protein released by adipose tissue—that regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity and thus is involved in many metabolic diseases such as obesity and ...
