title: Production of GPCR and GPCR complexes for structure determination.
abstract: Since the first high-resolution structure of the beta 2 adrenergic receptor (b2AR) in 2007, we have seen a growing number of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures coming to the repertory, providing a significant progress in our understanding of the structural basis of their function. This has been achieved by the interdisciplinary collaborative work between scientists with various expertise and the development of new methodologies as well as combining and optimizing existing techniques.
