Abstract excerpt
We recently modelled and proposed four ligand-bound conformations for a G-protein-coupled receptor, namely, forms I, II, III and IV, based on the 3D structure and functional evidences for rhodopsin. In this study, the same strategy was applied to a human nociceptin receptor (NR), in order to predict ligand-bound receptor structures. Additionally, site-directed mutagenesis studies were carried out to evaluate...
