Live cell monitoring of mu-opioid receptor-mediated G-protein activation reveals strong biological activity of close morphine biosynthetic precursors.
J. Biol. Chem. 282 , 27126-32, (2007)
G-protein activation by receptors is generally measured using (35)S-GTPgammaS binding assays in cell membranes and cannot be well assessed in intact cells. We have recently developed a fluorescence re...

Selective conversion of beta-endorphin into peptides related to gamma- and alpha-endorphin.
Nature 283(5742) , 96-7, (1980)
beta-Endorphin (beta-LPH61-91) is a well known endogenous opioid ligand. It and related peptides have recently been implicated in the control of adaptive behaviour. Smaller beta-endorphin fragments ap...
