More than 60% of the current drugs are based on G protein-coupled receptors. Paradoxically, high-resolution structures are not available to facilitate rational drug design. Difficulties in expression, purification, and crystallization of these transmembrane receptors are the reasons for the low success rate. Recent individual and network-based technology development has significantly improved our knowledge of structural biology and might soon bring a major breakthrough in this area.
