摘要
As one of the most successful therapeutic target families,G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs)have experienced a transformation from random ligand screening to knowledge-driven drug design.We are eye-witnessing tremendous progresses made recently in the understanding of their structure-function relationships that facilitated drug development at an unprecedented pace.This article intends to provide a comprehensive overview of this important field to a broader readership that shares some common interests in drug discovery.
