Membrane-sensitive conformational states of helix 8 in the metabotropic Glu2 receptor, a class C GPCR.

The recent elucidation of the X-ray structure of several class A GPCRs clearly indicates that the amphipathic helix 8 (H8) is a conserved structural domain in most crystallized GPCRs. Very little is known about the presence and the possible role of an analogous H8 domain in the distantly related cla...
