Designer Miniproteins: New Frontier in GPCR-Targeted Drug Development
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are essential membrane proteins with dynamic conformations that are also major targets for drug development and discovery. However, designing protein agonists and antagonists has proven difficult. In this article, researchers outline computational de novo design techniques and a high throughput “receptor diversion” microscopy-based screen for producing GPCR binding miniproteins with high…
