Comparing the conformational diversity of α1A-Adrenoceptor in Micelles and Phospholipid Bilayer Models

1A-adrenoceptor (1A-AR) is a class A G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that stimulates smooth muscle contraction in response to adrenaline and noradrenaline.

1A-adrenoceptor (1A-AR) is a class A G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that stimulates smooth muscle contraction in response to adrenaline and noradrenaline. GPCRs exist in a dynamic equilibrium between multiple conformational states. Ligand binding induces structural…
