G Protein-Coupled Receptor Allosterism and Complexing
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of cell-surface receptors. These receptors are natural allosteric proteins because agonist-mediated signaling by GPCRs requires a… Expand

Pharmacological regulation of insulin secretion in MIN6 cells through the fatty acid receptor GPR40: identification of agonist and antagonist small molecules
1 Long chain fatty acids have recently been identified as agonists for the G protein‐coupled receptors GPR40 and GPR120. Here, we present the first description of GW9508, a small‐molecule agonist of… Expand

Seven Transmembrane Receptors as Shapeshifting Proteins: The Impact of Allosteric Modulation and Functional Selectivity on New Drug Discovery
It is useful to consider seven transmembrane receptors (7TMRs) as disordered proteins able to allosterically respond to a number of binding partners. Considering 7TMRs as allosteric systems, affinity… Expand

Signalling bias in new drug discovery: detection, quantification and therapeutic impact
Agonists of seven-transmembrane receptors, also known as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), do not uniformly activate all cellular signalling pathways linked to a given seven-transmembrane receptor… Expand

A simple method for quantifying functional selectivity and agonist bias.
Activation of seven-transmembrane (7TM) receptors by agonists does not always lead to uniform activation of all signaling pathways mediated by a given receptor. Relative to other ligands, many… Expand
