Receptor dynamics provide new potential for pharmaceutical developments
[PRESS RELEASE 2017-08-09] The dynamics among certain so-called G protein-coupled receptors, of vital importance for the function of cells in the body, are different than previously believed. This has been reported by researchers from Karolinska Institutet in the journal Nature Communications. As these types of receptors are the target for many different medicines, the new finding opens the doors to completely new opportunities within pharmacology and pharmaceutical development.G protein-coupled receptors belong to one of the largest protein families, with around 800 representatives in the
