A Quantitative Analysis of Beta-Adrenergic Receptor Interactions: Resolution of High and Low Affinity States of the Receptor by Computer Modeling of Ligand Binding Data

KENT, RICHARD S., DE LEAN, ANDRE, LEFKOWITZ, ROBERT J.·1980·Molecular Pharmacology

Abstract

The properties of ligand binding to the beta-adrenergic receptor have been studied using a computer modeling technique to analyze data obtained by indirect binding methods. Antagonists are shown to bind to the receptor with one homogeneous state of uniform affinity, while agonists manifest heterogeneous binding. For agonists, two distinct binding states are apparent; one of high and one of low affinity. Affinity states of the receptor are characterized by specific macroscopic dissociation constants, and the proportion of total receptors in each state can be determined. The ability of an agonist to activate adenylate cyclase (intrinsic activity) correlates closely with the amount of high affinity state formed in the presence of the agonist (p

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
