Highlights d An active b2AR structure was obtained by fusion with residues 381-394 of Gs (GsCT) d GsCT interacts with the b2AR differently compared with the b2AR-Gs complex structure d The structure of Gs GDP reveals the conformation of GsCT before b2AR engagement d A model for the initial stages of b2AR-Gs complex formation is proposed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
