G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate most of our physiological responses to external stimuli and are involved in many diseases. Scientists have now used computer modeling to uncover central steps of GPCR signal transduction. This finding could help in developing new medicines targeting this important class of cell surface receptors.
