Turning on a G-protein-coupled receptor

Xaperone assisted crystallography of GPCRs: Crystal structure of a Xaperone (blue) stabilizing the active conformation of the ß-2 adrenergic receptor (green). The bound agonist is shown in space filling rendering. CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 ar depicted in brown, purple and red, respectively.
