G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large group of membrane-bound receptor proteins that are involved in a plethora of diverse processes (e.g., vision, hormone response). In mammals, and particularly in humans, GPCRs are involved in many signal transduction pathways and, as such, are heavily studied for their immense pharmaceutical potential. Indeed, a large fraction of drugs target various GPCRs, and drug-development is often aimed at GPCRs. Therefore, understanding the activation of GPCR ...[more]
