Congratulations to Keya for a first-authored paper published in Biochemistry on “Mechanisms of Peptide Agonist Dissociation and Deactivation of Adhesion G-Protein-Coupled Receptors“! Abstract Adhesion G protein–coupled receptors (ADGRs) belong to Class B2 of GPCRs and are involved in a wide array of important physiological processes. ADGRs contain a GPCR autoproteolysis-inducing...
