Talk Title: Structure and drug discovery of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily

Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series

Abstract: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute one of the largest protein families in the human genome and play essential roles in normal cell signaling processes. We have determined structures of more than 20 different GPCRs and made progress in understanding their structure and function. The use of the technology platform for drug discovery is now being established through an industry-academia open source GPCR Consortium, and the companies Receptos and RuiYi.
