New members in the GPCR photo gallery! Crystal structures of class B G protein‐coupled receptors, which bind peptide hormones, have been solved [see picture of the corticotropin‐releasing factor receptor 1 (blue) and a bound allosteric nonpeptide antagonist (green)]. The structures provide a basis for a rational design of better drugs for diabetes, osteoporosis, migraine, or depression.
