Connecting PIE-FCCS Measurements to Dimerization Affinity to Resolve the Role of GPCR Dimerization in Live Cells [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2016 Since the rhodopsin crystal structure was reported over 15 years ago, the structure and dynamics of class A G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) have been a growing area of investigation. A significant body of research has shown the existence of GPCR dimers and possibly higher order oligomers in native tissue.
