read our previous post, you probably know what CELT-335 is and its high affinity for the cannabinoid 1 receptor Introduction Cannabinoid receptors are GPCRs, and two main types exist, CB1R and CB2R. It has been proven that when different ligands bind to the receptors the effects are different depending It binds to the receptor, which is labelled with Tb. Conclusion CELT-335 is a functional TR-FRET acceptor which can be coupled with Tb as donor.

Complement factor C5a exerts its effect through the activation of C5aR1, chemotactic receptor 1, and triggers the G protein-coupled signaling cascade. An analysis of mutual interactions of subunits in the C5aR1-G protein complex has provided new insights into the activation mechanism of this distinct receptor. By means of molecular dynamics we explained why C5aR2 cannot transduce signal through the G protein pathway
