Reanalysis of a μ opioid receptor crystal structure reveals a covalent adduct with BU72

Abstract Background The first crystal structure of the active μ opioid receptor (μOR) exhibited several unexplained features. The ligand BU72 exhibited many extreme deviations from ideal geometry, along with unexplained electron density. I previously showed that inverting the benzylic configuration...
