Abstract excerpt
The diverse biological actions of retinoic acid (RA) are mediated by retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors. Although it has been suggested that the ligand binding domains (LBDs) of RARs share the same novel folding pattern, many RAR subtype-specific agonists and antagonists have been synthesized demonstrating that the LBD of each RAR subtype has unique features. We have examined the role of...
