The use of bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) to investigate the functional implications of neuropeptide Y receptor dimerisation and beta-arrestin recruitment

The functional significance of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) dimerisation remains debatable partly due to the inability to assign pharmacological properties directly to defined dimers. To address this problem, this thesis uses bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC), whereby protein-prot...
