Oligomeric structure of the alpha1b-adrenoceptor: comparisons with rhodopsin.

Abstract excerpt

The structural basis of the quaternary organization of rhodopsin has recently been explored and modeled. Because information obtained from studying rhodopsin has frequently been directly applicable to other G protein-coupled receptors we wished to ascertain if dimeric and/or oligomeric forms of the alpha(1b)-adrenoceptor could be observed and if so whether rhodopsin might provide insights into the quaternary...
