## Abstract G‐protein α subunits consist of two domains: a Ras‐like domain also called GTPase domain (GTPaseD), structurally homologous to monomeric G‐proteins, and a more divergent domain, unique to heterotrimeric G‐proteins, called helical domain (HD). G‐protein activation, requires the exchange
The G␣ subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins are constituted by a conserved GTPase ''Ras-like '' domain (RasD) and by a unique ␣-helical domain (HD). Upon GTP binding, four regions, called switch I, II, III, and IV, have been identified as undergoing structural changes. Switch I, II, and III are loc
