Abstract excerpt
Class-A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homo-dimerize in the membrane. Yet, methods to characterize the structure of GPCR dimer in the native environment are lacking. Accordingly, the molecular basis and functional relevance of the class-A GPCR dimerization remain unclear. Here, we present the dimeric structural model of GPR17 in the cell membrane. The dimer mainly involves transmembrane helix 5...
