Kinetics and mechanism of G protein-coupled receptor activation (2013)
Journal Article

The activation of a G protein-coupled receptor is generally triggered by binding of an agonist to the receptor's binding pocket, or, in the case of rhodopsin, by light-induced changes of the pre-bound retinal. This is followed by a series of a confor... Read More about Kinetics and mechanism of G protein-coupled receptor activation.
