Enhancing patient stratification methods for medication review during acute admissions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Medication review in the hospital is an effective tool for identifying inappropriate prescribing, but not every patient can receive one due to resource constraints. Thus, it is important to identify patients who stand to benefit most from medication review.

The Allosteric Mechanism of G‐Protein‐Coupled Receptors is Induced Fit, Not Conformational Selection

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Allosteric signaling of G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) involves a population shift from inactive to active receptor conformations upon binding of ligand agonists. Kinetic and structural data indicate that this population shift is induced by ligand binding to inactive receptor conformations prior to the conformational change from inactive to active.
