Abstract excerpt
Signaling by many heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is either enhanced or attenuated by changes in plasma membrane potential. To identify structural correlates of the voltage sensitivity of GPCR signaling, we chose muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (the M1, M3, and M5 isoforms) as a model system. We combined molecular docking analysis with Förster resonance...
