#14144

Reconstitution of hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity with resolved components of the enzyme.

Gilman and colleagues showed that G proteins are in the cell membrane and are stimulated once a ligand (adrenaline) binds the adrenergic receptor. This system can then activate adenyl cyclase to form cyclic AMP. Digit…
