Bias-inducing allosteric binding site in mu-opioid receptor signaling
Abstract G-protein-biased agonism of the mu-opioid receptor (μ-OR) is emerging as a promising strategy in analgesia. A deep understanding of how biased agonists modulate and differentiate G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) signaling pathways and how this is transferred into the cell are open questio...
