Distinct activation mechanisms regulate subtype selectivity of Cannabinoid receptors

Abstract Design of cannabinergic subtype selective ligands is challenging because of high sequence and structural similarities of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2). We hypothesize that the subtype selectivity of designed selective ligands can be explained by the ligand binding to the conformationa...
