The invention provides a series of chimeric G.sub..alpha.15 protein variants that couple to certain GPCRs more efficiently than the native G.alpha..sub.15 protein. These chimeric G.sub..alpha.15 protein variants can be used to discover and analyze modulators of GPCRs (especially those that mediate taste perception).
