G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) relay information from extracellular stimuli to intracellular responses in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes, but understanding their complex effects in live cells is a daunting task. In this issue of JBC, Wan et al repurpose "mini G proteins"-previously used as affinity tools for structural studies-to develop a suite of probes to visualize GPCR activation in live cells. The approach is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the spatiotemporal control and mechanisms of GPCR signaling.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 May 2018.
All research outputs
#6,740,417
of 32,403,885 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Biological Chemistry
#6,618
of 28,915 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#96,214
of 359,342 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Biological Chemistry
#119
of 396 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,403,885 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 28,915 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 359,342 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 396 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
