Virtual ligand screening (VLS) against high-resolution structures of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is likely to become the next-generation drug design approach of choice. Stein and colleagues recently demonstrated the feasibility of such an approach by discovering novel chemical scaffolds for the melatonin MT receptor and compounds with unique in vivo activities.
针对 G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR) 高分辨率结构的虚拟配体筛选 (VLS) 很可能成为下一代药物设计的首选方法。Stein 及其同事最近通过发现褪黑素 MT 受体的新型化学支架和具有独特体内活性的化合物证明了这种方法的可行性。
