Dissimilar Proteins Evolved Similar 7-Part Shape: Findings Offer Insight Into A Molecule Involved In Cancer And Birth Defects

Solving the structure of a critical human molecule involved in cancer, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found what they call a good example of structural conservation - dissimilar genes that keep very similar shapes. Described in the journal Nature, the work brings attention to what scientists have thought of as a family of molecules called the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Many GPCRs are important targets for drug design. However, the new work suggests that GPCRs may, in fact, be a subset of a larger group... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
