Asymmetric Dynamics Between the Protomers of the σ2 Receptor Homodimer.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The sigma-2 receptor (σR/TMEM97) is a clinically relevant membrane protein involved in cholesterol regulation and overexpressed in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite its therapeutic potential, the dynamic mechanisms underlying σR function...

Prediction of Activity and Selectivity Profiles of Sigma Receptor Ligands Using Machine Learning Approaches.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Sigma (σ) receptors (SRs) have emerged as important therapeutic targets due to their roles in various biological pathways. They are classified into two subtypes: S1R, primarily distributed in the central nervous system and related to neuroprotection ...

AlphaFold2 structures guide prospective ligand discovery.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
AlphaFold2 (AF2) models have had wide impact but mixed success in retrospective ligand recognition. We prospectively docked large libraries against unrefined AF2 models of the σ and serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors, testing hundreds of new molecules a...
