Allosteric binding sites on cell-surface receptors: novel targets for drug discovery
@article{Christopoulos2002AllostericBS, title={Allosteric binding sites on cell-surface receptors: novel targets for drug discovery}, author={A. Christopoulos}, journal={Nature Reviews Drug Discovery}, year={2002}, volume={1}, pages={198-210} }
Cell-surface receptors are the targets for more than 60% of current drugs. Traditionally, optimizing the interaction of lead molecules with the binding site for the endogenous agonist (orthosteric site) has been viewed as the best means of achieving selectivity of action. However, recent developments have highlighted the fact that drugs can interact with binding sites on the receptor molecule that are distinct from the orthosteric site, known as allosteric sites. Allosteric modulators could… CONTINUE READING
