Nobel Prize Related to the Structures

Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka share the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work on GPCRs that includes solving the first structures of a ligand-activated GPCR (2r4r, 2r4s, & 2rh1 in 2007)[1][2][3] and the first activated GPCR in complex with its G protein (3sn6 in 2011)[4][5][6][7]. A detailed description of the laureates' body of work on this class of receptors with images is here.
