1 | Furthermore, the orphanin FQ receptor mutant that has the best affinities toward the opioid alkaloids shows, in the presence of GTP and high salt concentration, an affinity-shift profile similar to that of the delta receptor. | Alkaloids | opioid related nociceptin receptor 1 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Our results indicate that 1) several residues in the orphanin FQ receptor are critical to its selectivity against the opiate alkaloids, particularly antagonists; and 2) mutating these residues to those of the opioid receptor at the corresponding position preserves the agonist/antagonist nature of opiate alkaloids as they interact with the mutant receptor. | Alkaloids | opioid related nociceptin receptor 1 | Homo sapiens |
3 | Our results indicate that 1) several residues in the orphanin FQ receptor are critical to its selectivity against the opiate alkaloids, particularly antagonists; and 2) mutating these residues to those of the opioid receptor at the corresponding position preserves the agonist/antagonist nature of opiate alkaloids as they interact with the mutant receptor. | Alkaloids | opioid related nociceptin receptor 1 | Homo sapiens |
4 | These findings may be helpful to medicinal chemists in designing ligands for the orphanin FQ receptor based on the structure of the opiate alkaloids. | Alkaloids | opioid related nociceptin receptor 1 | Homo sapiens |
