β-1 Adrenergic receptor is <scene name='Sandbox226/Two_dimers/1'>homodimer</scene>. Just as is true of most GPCRs, the dimers are each made up of 7 <scene name='Sandbox226/Helices_and_ligands/2'>α-helices with different ligands</scene>, all of which must span the membrane; the α-helices are connected by external and internal loops and are connected in an <scene name='Sandbox226/Antiparallel_representation/1'>anti-parallel</scene> form. For these α-helices to be stable, their middle must be made up of mostly hydrophobic amino acids while their ends are hydrophilic. In this <scene name='Sandbox226/Hydrophobic_and_polar_aas/1'>scene</scene>, hydrophobic amino acids are colored grey, while polar amino acids are purple. Though some polar amino acids exist on the middle of the helices, they are also mostly on the interior of the helix. This keeps them from being exposed to the lipid membrane and destabilizing the protein. The
