Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptors can exist as dimers and higher-order oligomers in biological membranes. The specific oligomeric assembly of these receptors is believed to play a major role in their function, and the disruption of native oligomers has been implicated in specific human pathologies. Computational predictions and biochemical analyses suggest that two molecules of rhodopsin (Rho) associate through the...
