Thrilled to share our @nature.com paper is out! 🎉 Honored to be part of the first publication from the @laurenslosky.bsky.social Lab!
We used rational design of allosteric modulators for GPCRs!

Congrats Maddi , @kelseyperson.bsky.social & team!

Designing allosteric modulators to change GPCR G protein subtype selectivity - Nature
Studies of the G-protein-coupled receptor NTSR1 show that the G protein selectivity of this receptor can be modified by small molecules, enabling the design of drugs that work by switching receptor su...

Can we design allosteric modulators that change a GPCR's preferred G protein? Yes!💥

BAMs at the GPCR-transducer interface change G protein subtype selectivity in predictable ways, enabling rational drug design.

The lab's 1st preprint! Check it out! 🧪💊🧠🟦https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.20.624209

Design of allosteric modulators that change GPCR G protein subtype selectivity
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of drug targets, can signal through 16 subtypes of Gα proteins. Biased compounds that selectively activate therapy-relevant pathways promise to ...
