Abstract excerpt
We investigated the Gi-coupled A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) activation mechanism by running 7.2 µs of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Based on homology to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures, three constitutively active mutant (CAM) and the wild-type (WT) A3ARs in the apo form were modeled. Conformational signatures associated with three different receptor states (inactive R, active R*, and bound to...
