Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Drugs that act on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) often have side effects due to their poor selectivities of the receptor and the signaling pathway, etc. Aiming to understand the structural basis of these side effects, we performed structural analysis of GPCRs in complex with several kinds of drugs. We succeeded to determine a structure of a GPCR bound with an inverse agonist, which was useful to understand the mechanism of the receptor selectivity of the drug. The structural studies for a GPCR in complex with several kinds of agonists are underway.
