Abstract excerpt
The ligand binding domain of the human vitamin D receptor (VDR) was modeled based on the crystal structure of the retinoic acid receptor. The ligand binding pocket of our VDR model is spacious at the helix 11 site and confined at the beta-turn site. The ligand 1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) was assumed to be anchored in the ligand binding pocket with its side chain heading to helix 11 (site 2) and the A-ring...
