    Structures of the archaerhodopsin-3 transporter reveal that disordering of internal water networks underpins receptor sensitization

    Many transmembrane receptors have a desensitized state, in which they are unable to respond to external stimuli. The family of microbial rhodopsin proteins includes one such group of receptors, whose inactive ...

    PtdIns(4,5)P2 stabilizes active states of GPCRs and enhances selectivity of G-protein coupling

    G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in many physiological processes and are therefore key drug targets1. Although detailed structural information is available for GPCRs, the effects of lipids on the ...
