Summary
We request support to acquire a FIDA 1 machine to expand our workflow for characterizing G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs are proteins that act like molecular switches on the surface of our cells, controlling important processes and serving as vital targets for new drugs. With the FIDA 1, we can explore how these receptors work in detail, helping us develop better medicines.
