Abstract:
In this issue of Cell Reports Methods, van den Bor et al.1 report a novel assay called NanoB2, which harnesses the use of nanobodies to broaden the applications of NanoBRET approaches for investigating ligand pharmacology. They demonstrate the generalizability of NanoB2 on a range of membrane proteins.

Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
