Abstract excerpt
Structural studies of the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of several steroid receptors have revealed that the dynamic properties of the C-terminal helix 12 (H12) are the major determinant of the activation mode of these receptors. H12 exhibits high mobility and different conformations in the absence of ligand. Upon ligand binding, H12 is stabilized in a precise position to seal the ligand-binding pocket and finalize...
