Role of basic amino acids of the human angiotensin type 1 receptor in the binding of the non-peptide antagonist candesartan

To explain the insurmountable/long-lasting binding of biphenyltetrazole-containing AT1-receptor antagonists such as candesartan, to the human angiotensin II type 1-receptor, a model is proposed in which the basic amino acids Lys199 and Arg 167 of the receptor interact respectively with the carboxyla...
