Computer Aimulation GPCR-arrestin Complex

Caption

Molecular structure of arrestin (purple/cyan) bound to a GPCR (red) in the cell membrane (horizontal black lines). The published study investigated how the „core" and „tail" of the receptor induce changes in the molecular structure of arrestin (i.e. activation) and thereby stimulate receptor binding by arrestin.
