Day 99 of #LMB365 is a journal cover design by Lesley McKeane in the LMB’s Visual Aids team. The selective coupling of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to specific G proteins is critical to trigger the appropriate physiological response. This image represents this selective binding using the analogy of multiple keys (receptors) opening the same lock (G protein, orange).
