Food for thought: a receptor finds its ligand

Christopher J Potter & Liqun Luo

Christopher Potter and Liqun Luo are in the Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA. cpotter@stanford.edu

In C. elegans, social and solitary feeding behavior can be determined by a single amino acid change in a G protein−coupled receptor. A new study identifies ligands for this receptor and suggests how changes in behavior evolve at the molecular level.
