PhD in GPCR Signalling
In my laboratory at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology there are
PhD opportunities in structural biology of G protein coupled receptor
(GPCR) signalling.
We have outstanding expertise in 2D and 3D crystallisation of GPCRs.
We are working on the structure of GPCRs and on GPCR signalling
complexes with electron microscopy and micro crystallography.
This year we have solved the first structure of a recombinant GPCR
Standfuss, J., et al. (2007) Crystal structure of a thermally stable
rhodopsin mutant.
J Mol Biol 372, 1179-1188
And in collaboration with Brian Kobilka we have solved the first
structure of a Human beta 2 adrenergic receptor in complex with an
antibody fragment.
Rasmussen, S.G., et al. (2007) Crystal structure of the human beta(2)
adrenergic G-protein-coupled receptor.
