Computational elucidation of the structural basis of ligand binding to the dopamine 3 receptor through docking and homology modeling.

Abstract excerpt

The dopamine subtype 3 receptor (D3) is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cocaine addiction, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, and other disorders, but little is known about the binding of ligands to D3 at the atomic level. In the present study, binding of 29 known ligands to the D3 receptor was modeled computationally using four D3 receptor models which were obtained from homology modeling....
