Structure of signaling-competent neurotensin receptor 1 obtained by directed evolution in Escherichia coli
- Pascal Egloff, M. Hillenbrand, +7 authors A. Plückthun
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 22 January 2014
Significance Only a tiny fraction (<2%) of the unique structures in the protein database correspond to membrane proteins, and only a few of these are of eukaryotic origin, representing potential drug… Expand
Native phasing of x-ray free-electron laser data for a G protein–coupled receptor
- A. Batyuk, L. Galli, +24 authors V. Cherezov
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Science Advances
- 1 September 2016
Anomalous signal from sulfur atoms present in most proteins was used for de novo phasing of XFEL data and solving a GPCR structure. Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) takes advantage of… Expand
Structures of the intermediates of Kok’s photosynthetic water oxidation clock
- J. Kern, R. Chatterjee, +38 authors V. Yachandra
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature
- 7 November 2018
Inspired by the period-four oscillation in flash-induced oxygen evolution of photosystem II discovered by Joliot in 1969, Kok performed additional experiments and proposed a five-state kinetic model… Expand
Structural basis for ligand recognition at the human MT1 melatonin receptor
- Benjamin J. Stauch, L. Johansson, +24 authors V. Cherezov
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature
- 27 March 2019
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a neurohormone that maintains circadian rhythms1 by synchronization to environmental cues and is involved in diverse physiological processes2 such as the… Expand
Snapshot of an oxygen intermediate in the catalytic reaction of cytochrome c oxidase
- I. Ishigami, A. Lewis-Ballester, +17 authors D. Rousseau
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 11 February 2019
Significance Crystal structures of intermediates in the reaction of oxygen (O2) with cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) have never been determined, limiting our understanding of the coupling between O2… Expand
Design and applications of a clamp for Green Fluorescent Protein with picomolar affinity
- Simon Hansen, Jakob C Stüber, +4 authors A. Plückthun
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Scientific Reports
- 24 November 2017
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions are pervasively used to study structures and processes. Specific GFP-binders are thus of great utility for detection, immobilization or manipulation of… Expand
Crystal structure of misoprostol bound to the labor inducer prostaglandin E2 receptor
- M. Audet, Kate L. White, +16 authors Raymond C. Stevens
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature Chemical Biology
- 11 September 2018
Misoprostol is a life-saving drug in many developing countries for women at risk of post-partum hemorrhaging owing to its affordability, stability, ease of administration and clinical efficacy.… Expand
XFEL structures of the human MT2 melatonin receptor reveal basis of subtype selectivity
- L. Johansson, Benjamin J. Stauch, +21 authors V. Cherezov
- Medicine
- Nature
- 27 March 2019
The human MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors1,2 are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that help to regulate circadian rhythm and sleep patterns3. Drug development efforts have targeted both receptors… Expand
Structural Basis for Selectivity and Diversity in Angiotensin II Receptors
- H. Zhang, G. W. Han, +23 authors V. Cherezov
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 17 March 2017
The angiotensin II receptors AT1R and AT2R serve as key components of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. AT1R has a central role in the regulation of blood pressure, but the function of AT2R… Expand
