Dear all, You can learn more about this important family of receptors by exploring their structures within the PDB archive. http://pdbe.org/nobel2012 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.
