G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) represent a large super-family of membrane-bound receptors that bind a great variety of ligands,including peptide and protein hormones,bioactive amines and odorants.As a consequence of the difficulties in using high resolution techniques such as X-ray crystallography and NMR to obtain structural and dynamical information about membrane proteins,only a small number of structures has been solved thus far.
