Research: CANCER Folding Project #12012

Project #12012 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project studies Class A GPCRs, proteins that act like 'molecular telephones' and control many body functions. Understanding how they work can help develop new drugs for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and depression.

Official Project Description

Class A GPCRs: Class A GPCRs are pivotal drug targets in our body, as they are involved in regulating almost all homeostatic processes in the human body.

It is estimated that around 35% of all drugs currently approved by the FDA target one of these GPCRs.

These proteins act like 'molecular telephones' and transmit signals from outside the cell to inside the cell.

Here, we aim to study the process that underlies their action on our body.

This is integral for providing insights into the protein's function and design better and new drugs targeting cancer, diabetes, depression and anxiety.
