Structural insights into adenosine receptors

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to investigate mechanisms underlying ligand binding and signal transduction at G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by utilising the adenosine receptor family as a model system. This interdisciplinary project will use structural biology, pharmacology and biochemistry. The expected outcomes include understanding ligand selectivity across the four adenosine receptor family members. This should provide significant benefits, such as advancement of fundamental knowledge that could also lead to therapeutic development.
