High-Resolution Crystal Structure of an Engineered Human β2-Adrenergic G Protein–Coupled Receptor

TL;DR: Although the location of carazolol in the β2-adrenergic receptor is very similar to that of retinal in rhodopsin, structural differences in the ligand-binding site and other regions highlight the challenges in using rhodopin as a template model for this large receptor family.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure and function of G-protein-coupled receptors

TL;DR: G-protein-coupled receptors mediate most of the authors' physiological responses to hormones, neurotransmitters and environmental stimulants, and so have great potential as therapeutic targets for a broad spectrum of diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a nanobody-stabilized active state of the β2 adrenoceptor

TL;DR: A camelid antibody fragment to the human β2 adrenergic receptor is generated, and an agonist-bound, active-state crystal structure of the receptor-nanobody complex is obtained, providing insights into the process of agonist binding and activation.
