Abstract excerpt
A possible molecular mechanism for the constitutive activity of mutants of the angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1) at position 111 was suggested by molecular modeling. This involves a cascade of conformational changes in spatial positions of side chains along transmembrane helix (TM3) from L112 to Y113 to F117, which in turn, results in conformational changes in TM4 (residues I152 and M155) leading to the movement...
