Abstract excerpt
We achieved exhaustive alanine scanning mutational analysis of the amino acid residues lining the ligand binding pocket of the Vitamin D receptor to investigate the mechanism of the ligand recognition by the receptor. This is the first exhaustive analysis in the nuclear receptor superfamily. Our results demonstrated the role and importance of all the residues lining the ligand binding pocket. In addition, this...
