Figure 1 represents the amino acid sequence of a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) as determine by mass spectrometry.

*Figure 1 is shown as in the added image.

Figure 1: The amino acid sequence of a GPCR as determined by mass spectrometry.
(a) Describe the general structural features of this GPCR.

(b) A ligand called TIIF binds to arginine-127 (R127 in transmembrane helix 3(TMH3) to cause the activation of this GPCR. There are more than one arginine residues in this GPCR, why was the 127R selected by the ligand?
