  • Publication number: 20200239534
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) structural biology and signaling. In particular, the present disclosure relates to binding domains directed against and/or specifically binding to GPCR:G protein complexes. Also provided are nucleic acid sequences encoding such binding domains and cells expressing or capable of expressing such binding domains. The binding domains of the present disclosure can be used as universal tools for the structural and functional characterization of G-protein coupled receptors in complex with downstream heterotrimeric G proteins and bound to various natural or synthetic ligands, for investigating the dynamic features of G protein activation, as well as for screening and drug discovery efforts that make use of GPCR:G protein complexes.

  • Publication number: 20080159510
    Abstract: A method of supplying information to participants in a telephone conference call carried out using a telecommunication network, a plurality of terminals, and a conference server. A data transmission link is established between at least two terminals and a data server that accesses the network, the data transmission link being independent of the communication link used for the transmission of voice streams established between the relevant terminal and the conference server. The conference server analyzes the streams received from the terminals during the conference to determine at least one pre-defined event relating to the progress of the conference and generates event identification data. The data server analyzes the identification data, generates information relating to the identified events, and transmits the information to the terminals for which a data transmission link has been established, via the data transmission link.
