Identifying ligand binding conformations of the β2-adrenergic receptor by using its agonists as computational probes.

Recently available G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) structures and biophysical studies suggest that the difference between the effects of various agonists and antagonists cannot be explained by single structures alone, but rather that the conformational ensembles of the proteins need to be consider...
