Understanding the influence of lipid bilayers and ligand molecules in determining the conformational dynamics of somatostatin receptor 2
Abstract Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that controls numerous cellular processes including cell-to-cell signaling. In this study, we report how the lipid and ligand molecules influence the conformational dynamics of the membrane-bound SSTR2. Molecular simulat...
