PBS Program Name:
ARC 19/20 Discovery
Grant Program:
Discovery Early Career Researcher Award
Grant Activity:
Structural insights into activation, dynamics and bias of GPCRs
Purpose:
The project aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying activation, biased agonism and G protein selectivity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by utilising the adenosine A1 receptor as a model system. This project expects to generate knowledge in the area of GPCR biology using an interdisciplinary approach including structural biology, pharmacology, biochemistry and protein engineering. The expected outcomes include (i) understanding the structural mechanisms underlying GPCR activation, (ii) biased agonism and (iii) G protein selectivity. This should provide significant benefits, such as advancement of fundamental knowledge in GPCR biology and pharmacology that could also one day lead to therapeutic development.
