Abstract excerpt
Activation of G protein-coupled receptors by agonists involves significant movement of transmembrane domains (TMD) following agonist binding. The underlying structural mechanism by which receptor activation takes place is largely unknown but can be inferred by detecting variability within the environment of the ligand-binding pocket, which is a water-accessible crevice surrounded by the seven TMD helices. Using...
