...Tony Warne; Christopher G. Tate Structures of the inactive state of the thermostabilized β 1 -adrenoceptor have been determined bound to eight different ligands, including full agonists, partial agonists, inverse agonists and biased agonists. Comparison of the structures shows distinct differences...

...-expressed with GluN1 (glycine-binding) subunits, which form the final tetrameric NMDAR assembly. Of the four GluN2 subunits that exist (termed A–D), NMDARs composed of GluN1/GluN2A and GluN1/GluN2D subunits display the greatest differences in their sensitivities to a variety of agonists, antagonists...

... endemic exogenous agonists are mediated by non-BMDC (bone-marrow-derived cells), which can include endothelial cells. In contrast, the proatherogenic TLR2 responses to the defined synthetic exogenous agonist Pam3 CSK4 are mediated at least in part by BMDC, which can include lymphocytes, monocytes...

... carried out extensive structure–activity relationship studies of DNA- and RNA-based compounds to elucidate the impact of nucleotide motifs and structures on these TLR-mediated immune responses. These studies have led us to design novel DNA- and RNA-based compounds, which act as potent agonists of TLR9...
