Abstract excerpt
Structural characterization of membrane proteins is hampered by their instability in detergent solutions. We modified here a G protein-coupled receptor, the BLT1 receptor of leukotriene B(4), to stabilize it in vitro. For this, we introduced a metal-binding site connecting the third and sixth tra...
