Abstract excerpt
Despite the well documented involvement of thromboxane A(2) receptor (TPR) signaling in the pathogenesis of thrombotic diseases, there are currently no rationally designed antagonists available for clinical use. To a large extent, this derives from a lack of knowledge regarding the topography of the TPR ligand binding pocket. On this basis, the purpose of the current study was to identify the specific amino acid...
