The Nucleotide-Free State of the Cannabinoid CB2/Gi Complex
In this issue of Cell, two papers report agonist-bound cryo-EM structures of the cannabinoid receptor, CB2, in complex with Gi. Importantly, beyond providing information that could help distinguish CB2 ligand binding from CB1, these structures support the existence of a nucleotide-free state during...

| Summary: | In this issue of Cell, two papers report agonist-bound cryo-EM structures of the cannabinoid receptor, CB2, in complex with Gi. Importantly, beyond providing information that could help distinguish CB2 ligand binding from CB1, these structures support the existence of a nucleotide-free state during G-protein signaling. |
