Abstract excerpt
To investigate the allosteric effects of ligands in the function of nuclear receptors, we performed exhaustive alanine scanning mutational analysis (ASMA) of the residues lining the ligand-binding pocket (LBP) of the human vitamin D receptor. The effects of ligands were examined in this system (termed two-dimensional (2D) ASMA) using 10 structurally and biologically characteristic ligands that included agonists,...
