The classical model of G-protein signaling suggests that the G-protein dissociates upon GPCR activation. The active G alpha (i) subunit then participates in signaling, until its intrinsic GTPase activity degrades the bound GTP to GDP. The inactive G alpha (i):GDP complex has much higher affinity for the G beta:gamma complex and consequently reassociates.
