Abstract excerpt
Many biogenic amines evoke a variety of physiological responses by acting on G protein-coupled receptors. We have determined the conformation of two acetylcholine analogs, (S)-methacholine and (2S,4R,5S)-muscarine, bound to the M(2) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M(2) mAChR) by NMR spectroscopy. The analysis of the transferred nuclear Overhauser effect indicated that the receptor selectively recognized the...
