Allostery of atypical modulators at oligomeric G protein-coupled receptors

Abstract Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are therapeutic targets, with most drugs acting at the orthosteric site. Some GPCRs also possess allosteric sites, which have become a focus of drug discovery. In the M2 muscarinic receptor, allosteric modulators regulate the binding and functional e...
