The 826 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the human proteome regulate key physiological processes, and thus have long been attractive as drug targets. With crystal structure determinations of more than 50 different human GPCRs during the last decade, an initial platform for structure-based rational design has been established for drugs that target GPCRs, which is currently being augmented with cryo-EM structures of higher-order GPCR complexes. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in solution is one of the key approaches for expanding this platform with dynamic features, which can be accessed at physiological temperature and with minimal modification of the wild-type GPCR covalent structures. Here, we review strategies for the use of advanced biochemistry and NMR techniques with GPCRs, survey projects where crystal or cryo-EM structures have been complemented with NMR investigations, and discuss the impact of this integrative approach on GPCR biology and drug discovery. More than 30% of all drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and these drugs are utilized in a wide range of therapeutic areas, including inflammation and diseases of the central nervous system as well as the cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. Currently more than 300 agents are in clinical trials, of which around 60 target novel GPCRs for which no drug has as yet been approved. The novel GPCR targets also include orphan GPCRs, for which endogenous ligands have not yet been discovered. Overall, the drugs approved so far target only 27% of the human non-olfactory GPCRs, indicating that much excitement still lies ahead. Identifying new GPCR drugs will need additional detailed knowledge of GPCR biology, especially knowledge from structural biology, given the complex structure–function relationships involved in GPCR signaling. Along this line, recent reviews on GPCRs have covered studies with antibodies and nanobodies, allosteric modulation biased signaling, methods in GPCR structural biology, GPCR crystal structures and drug development, with some reviews addressing specific GPCR families. Complementing the substantial number of GPCR crystal structures that have become available in the past decade, as well as the recent demonstrations of the potential for cryo-EM to provide information on higher-order GPCR complexes, dynamic studies of GPCRs are important for providing new insights into GPCR biology that can assist drug discovery. In this respect, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in solution is a key tool for analysing function-related conformational equilibria in GPCRs as they relate to allosteric coupling, variable efficacies and biased signaling of GPCR ligands, which are of particular interest for their potential as drugs. Furthermore, NMR spectroscopy is also a useful tool for fragment-based lead discovery with GPCR targets. In this article, we first overview the structural biology of GPCRs based on knowledge from X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM and solution NMR, and then focus on the application of solution NMR to enhance understanding of GPCR biology relevant to drug discovery, as well as in fragment-based lead discovery. Solid-state NMR studies can also be valuable in the study of GPCR and other membrane protein structures, but have been reviewed elsewhere and are not covered here.
