title: G-protein-coupled receptors signal victory.
abstract: The 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Brian K. Kobilka and Robert J. Lefkowitz for their studies of G-protein-coupled receptors. Their pioneering work over the past 40 years has provided detailed molecular insight into the structure and function of this fundamentally important family of receptors.
