Understanding the molecular basis of agonist/antagonist mechanism of human mu opioid receptor through gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics method

Abstract The most powerful analgesic and addictive properties of opiate alkaloids are mediated by the μ opioid receptor (MOR). The MOR has been extensively investigated as a drug target in the twentieth century, with numerous compounds of varying efficacy being identified. We employed molecular dyna...
