Promiscuous g-protein compositions and their use

摘要

Disclosed are compositions and methods for their use, such as in identifying G-protein coupled receptors and ligands and compounds that modulate signal transduction. The compositions and methods employ promicuous G-proteins. Activation of the promiscous G-protein can be detected in a variety of assays, including assays in which activation is indicated by a change in fluorescence emission of a sample that contains the composition.
