    Positive allosteric mechanisms of adenosine A1 receptor-mediated analgesia

    The adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) is a promising therapeutic target for non-opioid analgesic agents to treat neuropathic pain1,2. However, development of analgesic orthosteric A1R agonists has failed because of a l...

    Structural Basis for Binding of Allosteric Drug Leads in the Adenosine A1 Receptor

    Despite intense interest in designing positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) as selective drugs of the adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR), structural binding modes of the receptor PAMs remain unknown. Using the first X-...

    A kinetic view of GPCR allostery and biased agonism

    Allosteric modulation and biased agonism at GPCRs could be manifestations of the same underlying 'conformational selection' mechanism, and these can be harmonized by considering the influence of ligand–recepto...
