Mini-G proteins: Novel tools for studying GPCRs in their active conformation.

Mini-G proteins: Novel tools for studying GPCRs in their active conformation.

Mini-G proteins are the engineered GTPase domains of Gα subunits. They couple to GPCRs and recapitulate the increase in agonist affinity observed upon coupling of a native heterotrimeric G protein. Given the small size and stability of mini-G proteins, and their ease of expression and purification,...
