Multidimensional scaling reveals the main evolutionary pathways of class A G-protein-coupled receptors.
Class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of transmembrane receptors in the human genome. Understanding the mechanisms which drove the evolution of such a large family would help understand the specificity of each GPCR sub-family with applications to drug design. To g...
