We are using the revolutionary new structures of this class of receptors to explain activation and inhibition mechanisms, in collaboration with the group of Dan Larhammar. Approximately half of the known drugs for humans target such receptors. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of these mechanisms is paramount for progress in drug development.
