G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate a wide range of human physiological functions by transducing extracellular ligand binding events into intracellular responses. GPCRs can activate parallel, independent signaling pathways mediated by G proteins or β-arrestins. Whereas "balanced" agonists activate both pathways equally

Membrane-bound oligosaccharides with specific chemistries are known to promote tight adhesion between adjacent membranes via the formation of weak saccharide bonds. However, in the literature, one can find scattered evidence that other, more abundant saccharide chemistries exhibit similar behavior. Here

Association of amphiphiles with biomembranes is important for their availability at specific locations in organisms and cells, being critical for their biological function. A prominent role is usually attributed to the hydrophobic effect, and to electrostatic interactions between charged amphiphiles
