Abstract excerpt
We developed a general cell-based photocrosslinking approach to investigate the binding interfaces necessary for the formation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling complexes. The two photoactivatable unnatural amino acids p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine and p-azido-L-phenylalanine were incorporated by amber codon suppression technology into CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). We then probed the ligand-binding...
