Insight into partial agonism by observing multiple equilibria for ligand-bound and Gs-mimetic nanobody-bound β1-adrenergic receptor

β1-adrenergic receptors are expressed in cardiac tissue and stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system. Here, the authors use NMR spectroscopy to unravel the conformational diversity upon β1-adrenergic receptor activation and provide structural insights into partial agonism and basal activity.
