Ligand binding dynamics for pre-dimerised G protein-coupled receptor homodimers: Linear models and analytical solutions (2018)
Journal Article
White, C., & Bridge, L. (2019). Ligand binding dynamics for pre-dimerised G protein-coupled receptor homodimers: Linear models and analytical solutions. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 81(9), 3542-3574. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11538-017-0387-x

Evidence suggests that many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are bound together forming dimers. The implications of dimerisation for cellular signalling outcomes, and ultimately drug discovery and therapeutics, remain unclear. Consideration of lig...
