Salmeterol's extreme b2 selectivity is due to residues in both extracellular loops and transmembrane domains

Salmeterol is a long-acting b2-agonist, widely used as an inhaled treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It has very high b2-affinity (log KD 28.95) and is very selective for the b2-adrenoceptor (1000-fold selectivity over the b1-adrenoceptor). This study used a mutagenesis a...
