Dear all,

You can learn more about this important family of receptors by exploring their structures within the PDB archive.

The crystal structures of the beta2 adrenergic receptor were determined using X-ray diffraction by Kobilka's group. The structures http://pdbe.org/2rh1, http://pdbe.org/2r4r and http://pdbe.org/2r4s were published and released in 2007. Subsequently, the structure of a G protein (Gs) bound to the beta2 adrenergic receptor http://pdbe.org/3sn6 was determined using X-ray diffraction by the same group at a resolution of 3.2 Å and published in 2011, providing important insights into how GPCRs activate G proteins.
