© 2019 American Chemical Society. Among class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), the human adenosine A2A receptor (hA2AAR) remains an attractive drug target. However, translation of A2AAR ligands into the clinic has proved challenging and an impro...

Comparison of the ligand‐binding properties of fluorescent VEGF‐A isoforms to VEGF receptor 2 in living cells and membrane preparations using NanoBRET (2019)
Journal Article
Peach, C. J., Kilpatrick, L. E., Woolard, J., & Hill, S. J. (2019). Comparison of the ligand‐binding properties of fluorescent VEGF‐A isoforms to VEGF receptor 2 in living cells and membrane preparations using NanoBRET. British Journal of Pharmacology, 176(17), 3220-3235. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.14755

Background and Purpose: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) is a key mediator of angiogenesis. A striking feature of the binding of a fluorescent analogue of VEGF165a to NanoLuciferase-tagged VEGF Receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in living cells is that...

Complex formation between VEGFR2 and the β2-adrenoceptor (2019)
Journal Article
Kilpatrick, L. E., Alcobia, D. C., White, C. W., Peach, C. J., Glenn, J. R., Zimmerman, K., …Hill, S. J. (2019). Complex formation between VEGFR2 and the β2-adrenoceptor. Cell Chemical Biology, 26(6), 830-841.e9. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chembiol.2019.02.014

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important mediator of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis via its receptor VEGFR2. A common tumor associated with elevated VEGFR2 signaling is infantile hemangioma that is caused by a rapid... Read More about Complex formation between VEGFR2 and the β2-adrenoceptor.

Binding kinetics of ligands acting at GPCRs (2019)
Journal Article
Sykes, D. A., Stoddart, L. A., Kilpatrick, L. E., & Hill, S. J. (2019). Binding kinetics of ligands acting at GPCRs. Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 485, 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mce.2019.01.018

The influence of drug-receptor binding kinetics has often been overlooked during the development of new therapeutics that target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Over the last decade there has been a growing understanding that an in-depth knowled... Read More about Binding kinetics of ligands acting at GPCRs.
