How a tryptophan-rich allosteric communication network helps activate a major drug target receptor
A multinational research team led by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, RIKEN, and the University of Toronto has revealed how a tryptophan-rich allosteric communication network regulates ...
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 ...
New research led by the University of Minnesota Medical School demonstrates that molecules acting as "molecular bumpers" and "molecular glues" can rewire G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, ...
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 ...

Structural findings reveal how distinct GPCR ligands create different levels of activation
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins triggered by ligands (protein-binding chemicals) from outside cells to transmit signals inside the cell. These signals are transmitted primarily ...
Luciferase-based reporter cell lines are invaluable for detecting cellular responses to signaling pathways in vitro, enabling high-throughput screening and profiling of inhibitors or activators. In ...
