interactions with the Gq and Gi proteins
Active Site

the two binding pockets (electrostatics)
difference between the binding pockets of X2 and X4; talk about why these differences affect the type of ligands that may bind
Substrates/Ligands
Talk about there a ton of different ligands can bind
Highlight the few that we want to talk about: Peptide vs. manufactured/artificial vs. non-peptide
Agonists, inverse agonists, and antagonists and their effects on the mechanism
Mechanism
mechanism of binding and the associated chemical interactions
signaling cascades associated with the Human Itch GPCRs
regulatory processes within the signaling cascade that directly affect the g-proteins
Relevance
Implications for Disease
