Abstract excerpt
A replica-exchange protocol remarkably enhances the sampling of the activation dynamics of the neurotensin receptor type 1, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and important drug target. Our work highlights the dynamic communication between conformational changes of the agonist and the G protein-binding site, via contraction-oscillation of the orthosteric pocket. It also gives insights into the mechanism by which...
