Fluorescent ligands have proved to be powerful tools in the study of G protein-coupled receptors in living cells. Here we have characterised a new fluorescent ligand PSB603-BY630 that has high selectivity for the human adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR)....

New materials chemistries are urgently needed to overcome the limitations of existing biomedical materials in terms of preparation, functionality and versatility, and also in regards to their compatibility with biological environments. Here, we show... Read More about Passerini chemistries for synthesis of polymer pro-drug and polymersome drug delivery nanoparticles.

Ligand-directed covalent labelling of a GPCR with a fluorescent tag in live cells (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). To study the localisation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) in their native cellular environment requires their visualisation through fluorescent labelling. To overcome the requirement for genetic modification of the recept... Read More about Ligand-directed covalent labelling of a GPCR with a fluorescent tag in live cells.
