A Dynamic Mass Redistribution Assay for the Human Sweet Taste Receptor Uncovers G-Protein Dependent Biased Ligands

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
The sweet taste receptor is rather unique, recognizing a diverse repertoire of natural or synthetic ligands, with a surprisingly large structural diversity, and with potencies stretching over more than six orders of magnitude.

The Impact of the Secondary Binding Pocket on the Pharmacology of Class A GPCRs

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are considered important therapeutic targets due to their pathophysiological significance and pharmacological relevance. Class A receptors represent the largest group of GPCRs that gives the highest number of validated

The Binding Mode to Orthosteric Sites and/or Exosites Underlies the Therapeutic Potential of Drugs Targeting Cannabinoid CB2 Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
The classical terms agonists and antagonists for G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have often become misleading. Even the biased agonism concept does not describe all the possibilities already demonstrated for GPCRs. The cannabinoid CB2 receptor (CB2R)

Functional Characterization of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Associated Dynorphin A Mutant Peptides

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
Mutations in the prodynorphin gene (PDYN) are associated with the development of spinocerebellar ataxia type 23 (SCA23). Pathogenic missense mutations are localized predominantly in the PDYN region coding for the dynorphin A (DynA) neuropeptide and lead ...

Self-Selection Consistent Functions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Theory, 2002
This paper studies collective choice rules whose outcomes consist of a collection of simultaneous decisions, each one of which is the only concern of some group of individuals in society. The need for such rules arises in different contexts, including the establishment of jurisdictions, the location of multiple public facilities, or the election of ...

Structure-Guided Computational Methods Predict Multiple Distinct Binding Modes for Pyrazoloquinolinones in GABAA Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Pyrazoloquinolinones (PQs) are a versatile class of GABAA receptor ligands. It has been demonstrated that high functional selectivity for certain receptor subtypes can be obtained by specific substitution patterns, but so far, no clear SAR rules emerge ...

Atomically dispersed Pt-N-4 sites as efficient and selective electrocatalysts for the chlorine evolution reaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Chlorine evolution reaction (CER) is a critical anode reaction in chlor-alkali electrolysis. Although precious metal-based mixed metal oxides (MMOs) have been widely used as CER catalysts, they suffer from the concomitant generation of oxygen during the ...
