Electron crystallography of two-dimensional crystals of bovine Rho revealed that metarhodopsin I formation does not involve large rigid-body movements of helices, but rather a rearrangement of helix 6, at the level of the retinal chromophore.

Molecular interactions that establish stable structural segments within Rho were detected by single-molecule force spectroscopy. These segments harbor highly conserved residues (>80%) that ensure the stability of Rho.

A heterodimer-selective agonist shows in vivo relevance of G protein-coupled receptor dimmers. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102 (2005) 9050-9055. The opioid agonist 6-guanidinonaltrindole activates only opioid receptor heterodimers but not homodimers. This demonstrates that drug targeting of GPCR heterodimers is possible, paving the way for designing drugs with reduced side effects.

Rho solubilized with different mild detergents exhibited transducin-activating capacities that differed by more than an order of magnitude. When analyzed by TEM, the most active sample showed rows of Rho akin to the rows observed by AFM.
