In the human proteome, 826 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with extracellular stimuli to initiate cascades of intracellular signaling. Determining conformational dynamics and intermolecular interactions are key to understand GPCR function as a basis for drug design. X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) contribute molecular architectures of GPCRs and GPCR-signaling complexes. NMR spectroscopy is complementary by providing information on the dynamics of GPCR...

G Protein-coupled Receptor (GPCR) Reconstitution and Labeling for Solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Studies of the Structural Basis of Transmembrane Signaling
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large membrane protein family found in higher organisms, including the human body. GPCRs mediate cellular responses to diverse extracellular stimuli and thus control key physiological functions, which makes them important targets for drug design. Signaling by GPCRs is related to the structure and dynamics of these proteins, which are modulated by extrinsic ligands as well as by...

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest class of "druggable" proteins in the human genome. For more than a decade, crystal structures and, more recently, cryoEM structures of GPCR complexes have provided unprecedented insight into GPCR drug binding and cell...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) span cell membranes with seven transmembrane helices and respond to a diverse array of extracellular signals. Crystal structures of GPCRs have provided key insights into the architecture of these receptors and the role of conserved residues. However, the question of how ligand binding induces the...
