Engineered arrestins as novel biosensors for drug-induced GPCR phosphorylation

Abstract (Deutsch)

Promising drug candidates entering pre- and clinical trials account for more than 50% of the total Pharma R&D|spending and have a failure rate of 95%. About half of them target GPCRs, an important superfamily of|membrane receptors. For better and earlier assessment of quality, safety, and effectiveness of drug|candidates, we will develop cellular screening systems on a unique arrestin-engineering platform to enable|high-throughput dissection of drug-induced GPCR signaling.
