Photo-cross-linkers incorporated into G-protein-coupled receptors in mammalian cells: a ligand comparison

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2011 Aug 22;50(35):8077-81. doi: 10.1002/anie.201102646. Epub 2011 Jul 12.

Abstract

Capturing the right ligand at the right spot: a well-balanced system for non-natural amino acid mutagenesis allows the ligand binding sites of a class II G-protein coupled receptor to be mapped and distinct binding domains to be identified for different ligands in the native environment of mammalian cells.
