Abstract excerpt
Molecular modeling studies have predicted that the beta-hydroxyl group of the catecholamines interacts with the beta 2-adrenoceptor at the serine residue at position 165 (Ser165) located on transmembrane helix IV; however, this has not been confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis. It has been inferred that this site, which is conserved in all of the nine known alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor subtypes, is also...
