Genetically encoded photocrosslinkers locate the high-affinity binding site of antidepressant drugs in the human serotonin transporter

Molecular details of how antidepressant drugs bind to the human serotonin transporter are not currently clear. Here, the authors introduce photo-cross-linkers into the protein and map the binding site of several antidepressants.
