Predicting novel binding modes of agonists to β adrenergic receptors using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations.

Understanding the binding mode of agonists to adrenergic receptors is crucial to enabling improved rational design of new therapeutic agents. However, so far the high conformational flexibility of G protein-coupled receptors has been an obstacle to obtaining structural information on agonist binding...
