Crystallization scale preparation of a stable GPCR signaling complex between constitutively active rhodopsin and G-protein.

The activation of the G-protein transducin (Gt) by rhodopsin (Rho) has been intensively studied for several decades. It is the best understood example of GPCR activation mechanism and serves as a template for other GPCRs. The structure of the Rho/G protein complex, which is transiently formed during...
