Abstract excerpt
Previous attempts to characterize the structural determinants required for binding of cortisol by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) have proved difficult since almost all modifications of the ligand binding domain (LBD) of GRs either eliminate or greatly decrease steroid binding. The guinea pig, a New World hystricomorph with a phylogeny the subject of recent dispute, is corticoresistant due to a GR that has...
