Allosteric Modulation of Chemoattractant Receptors [PDF]
Chemoattractants control selective leukocyte homing via interactions with a dedicated family of related G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Emerging evidence indicates that the signaling activity of these receptors, as for other GPCR, is influenced by allosteric modulators, which interact with the receptor in a binding site distinct from the binding ...

An allosteric modulator binds to a conformational hub in the β2 adrenergic receptor [PDF]
Most drugs acting on G-protein-coupled receptors target the orthosteric binding pocket where the native hormone or neurotransmitter binds. There is much interest in finding allosteric ligands for these targets because they modulate physiologic signaling ...

Surface dynamics in allosteric regulation of protein-protein interactions: modulation of calmodulin functions by Ca2+. [PDF]
Knowledge of the structural basis of protein-protein interactions (PPI) is of fundamental importance for understanding the organization and functioning of biological networks and advancing the design of therapeutics which target PPI.

COR758, a negative allosteric modulator of GABAB receptors [PDF]
Allosteric modulators of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), including GABABRs (GABABRs), are promising therapeutic candidates. While several positive allosteric modulators (PAM) of GABABRs have been characterized, only recently the first negative ...

Biochemical pharmacology of the positive allosteric modulation of the GABAb receptor "in Vitro" and "in Vivo" [PDF]
Allosteric modulators of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with binding sites on the receptor molecule that are topographically distinct from the classic orthosteric site.

Allosteric modulation of adenosine receptors [PDF]
Allosteric ligands for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) may alter receptor conformations induced by an orthosteric ligand. These modulators can thus fine-tune classical pharmacological responses. In this review we will describe efforts to synthesize and characterize allosteric modulators for one particular GPCR subfamily, the adenosine receptors ...
