Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-based drug discovery has traditionally focused on targeting the orthosteric site for the endogenous agonist. However, many GPCRs possess allosteric sites that offer enormous potential for greater selectivity in drug action. The complex behaviors ascribed to allosteric ligands also present challenges to those interested in preclinical lead discovery. These challenges include the...
