| Abstract |
Microbial rhodopsins and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs, which include animal rhodopsins) are two distinct (super) families of heptahelical (7TM) membrane proteins that share obvious structural similarities but no significant sequence similarity. Comparison of the recently solved high-resolution structures of the sodium-translocating bacterial rhodopsin and various Na(+)-binding GPCRs revealed striking similarity of their sodium-binding sites. This similarity allowed us to construct a structure-guided sequence alignment for the two (super)families, which highlighted their evolutionary relatedness. Our analysis supports a common underlying molecular mechanism for both families that involves a highly conserved aromatic residue playing a pivotal role in rotation of the 6th transmembrane helix.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. 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 02 April 2020.
All research outputs
#2,375,500
of 22,830,751 outputs
Outputs from Biology Direct
#104
of 487 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#35,296
of 279,238 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biology Direct
#3
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,830,751 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 487 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% 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 279,238 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
