Abstract excerpt
We hypothesized that the selectivity profile of the rat mu-opioid receptor for opioid receptor-selective ligands is determined by the nature of the amino acid residues at highly divergent sites in the ligand-binding pocket. To determine which characteristics of these residues contribute to opioid receptor ligand selectivity, we made various mutant receptors that replaced the Lys(303) and Trp(318) residues near...
