Functional selectivity of insulin receptor revealed by aptamer-trapped receptor structures

DNA aptamers can activate insulin receptor as selective agonists or positive allosteric modulators. Here, authors determine structures of the insulin receptor bound to aptamers and provide a basis for the selective activation or allosteric regulation of insulin receptor.
