Abstract excerpt
A wide range of membrane receptors signal through conformational changes, and the resulting protein conformational flexibility often hinders their structural studies. Because the determinants of membrane receptor conformational stability are still poorly understood, identifying a minimal set of perturbations stabilizing a membrane protein in a given conformation remains a major challenge in membrane protein...
