Crystal structure of the α1B-adrenergic receptor reveals molecular determinants of selective ligand recognition

This study reports the X-ray structure of the α1B-adrenergic G protein-coupled receptor bound to an inverse agonist, and unveils key determinants of subtype-selective ligand binding that may help the design of aminergic drugs with fewer side-effects.
