receptors is activated by small-molecule metabolites produced by gut microbes, a finding she still calls Sequence-based orthology calls are often ambiguous, and in the Pluznick lab's hands, putative orthologs

I was part of a study that identified the receptors of a novel human gut microbe-derived metabolite called most ubiquitous class of plasma membrane receptors and serve as targets for more than one-third of all prescribed drugs currently used in the treatment of human diseases all over the world.

He compares the biochemist's approach to smashing a television with a wrecking ball and trying to reassemble "If you ask a biochemist how does a television work, he would probably take a wrecking ball to it and then try to piece all the little parts back together."
