Abstract excerpt
GPR40 is a novel potential target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this work, a two-layered ONIOM based QM/MM approach was employed to study the interactions between GW9508 and GPR40: wild-type, H86F, and H137F mutated systems. The calculated results clearly indicated that His137 is directly involved in ligand recognition through the NH-π interaction with the GW9508. In contrast, His86 is not interacting...
