Evolving the lock to fit the key to create a family of G protein-coupled receptors potently activated by an inert ligand
We evolved muscarinic receptors in yeast to generate a family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated solely by a pharmacologically inert drug-like and bioavailable compound… Expand

Rapid, reversible activation of AgRP neurons drives feeding behavior in mice.
Several different neuronal populations are involved in regulating energy homeostasis. Among these, agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons are thought to promote feeding and weight gain; however, the… Expand
