The overall structure shows the β2AR (dark blue) bound to an agonist (in spheres) along with a T4 lysozyme fused to its amino terminus in order to facilitate crystallization. The receptor interacts with Gαs (light blue). Gαs together with Gβ (light green) and Gγ (gold) constitute the heterotrimeric G protein Gs. A Gs-binding nanobody which also facilitates crystallization (pink) binds the G protein between the a and b subunits. | The overall structure shows the β2AR (dark blue) bound to an agonist (in spheres) along with a T4 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysozyme lysozyme] fused to its amino terminus in order to facilitate crystallization.
