Identification of Endogenous Surrogate Ligands for Human P2Y Receptors Through an In Silico Search

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are distributed widely throughout the human body, and nearly 50% of current medicines act on a GPCR. GPCRs are considered to consist of seven transmembrane α-helices that form an α-helical bundle in which agonists and antagonists bind. A 3D structure of the target...
