| Comments on 2i36 » Rhodopsin, inactive state, a dimer |
|---|
| Two structures of retinal-free opsin (2i36 and 2i37) contain a loosely packed dimer formed through association of TM helices I. This is one of several GPCR dimerization modes discussed in the literature. Similar I-to-I dimers were found in 2D crystals of rhodopsin (Krebs et al. 2003). However, tilts of invividual molecules of rhodopsin with respect to non-crystallographic C2 symmetry axis in 2D crystals were smaller. |
