Structural Prediction of the Dimeric Form of the Mammalian Translocator Membrane Protein TSPO: A Key Target for Brain Diagnostics
Positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands targeting the human translocator membrane protein (TSPO) are broadly used for the investigations of neuroinflammatory conditions associated with neurological disorders. Structural information on the mammalian protein homodimers—the suggested...
