Abstract

To study GPCR conformational dynamics in live cells, here we report an integrated approach combining enzymatic SNAP-tagging with bioorthogonal chemistry for dual fluorescent labeling of GLP-1R. The resulting GLP-1R conformational biosensors permit a FRET-based analysis of the receptor subdomain movement in response to ligand stimulation in live cells.
