SCREENING METHOD FOR GPCR LIGANDS

摘要

This invention relates to a method of identifying a compound capable of binding to a target domain of a G-protein coupled receptor comprising the steps of: (a) providing a receptor comprising said target domain and a first group linked to said target domain; (b) bringing into contact said receptor of (a) with a test molecule comprising a second group and said compound linked to each other, wherein said first group binds said second group; and (c) determining, subsequent to the binding of said first group to said second group, whether said compound binds to said target domain.
