Abstract excerpt
Recent mutations of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1B and 5-HT1D receptor subtypes suggest that a threonine in the seventh transmembrane helix may be responsible for the selectivity of these receptors. A molecular dynamics simulation of a three-dimensional model of the 5-HT1D receptor interacting with a selective agonist, sumatriptan, shows that, although Thr342 in helix 7 does not have a direct interaction with...
