Migraine Illustration

Caption

The new study illustrated an innovative technique to find structural details about G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are targeted by approximately 40 percent of modern medicines. This illustration represents a migraine, overlaid with a rendering of the human serotonin receptor (a GPCR) bound to ergotamine, an anti-migraine drug. Also shown is a rendering of a neuron network.
