Molecular determinants of allosteric modulation at the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor

Background: BQCA is a selective allosteric modulator of the M1 mAChR. Results: Residues that govern BQCA activity were identified using mutagenesis and molecular modelling. Conclusion: BQCA likely occupies a pocket overlapping prototypical mAChR modulators and gains selectivity through coop- erati...
