Funded Activity Summary

Common hot spots in protein-activated GPCRs enable discovery of new ligands for mapping of G-protein signalling pathways. This project will teach researchers and industry how to more rapidly discover new compounds for development into medicines, and how to design them with reduced side effects. This interdisciplinary research will provide excellent training for scientists in chemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry and biotechnology. It will advance fundamental science at the chemistry-biology interface, attract international interest from researchers, students, and companies, with potential for translational and commercial outcomes. New drug leads and information on how important drug targets communicate with different intracellular signalling pathways has potential to impact on National Research Priorities of good health and building Australian industry.
