Alexander Georgievich Petrenko, a talented, creative biochemist, well known for his key contributions to the wider field of receptor biology, passed away on 2 May 2021, shortly after contracting COVID‐19. His loss will be deeply felt by the adhesion G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) research communities that benefited so much from his work over the past four decades, and from their exciting personal interactions with him. As his friends and fellow GPCR researchers, we have written a tribute to Sasha, focused principally on his science career.
