- Intermolecular Interactions in G Protein-Coupled Receptor Allosteric Sites at the Membrane Interface
binding location that raises many questions about the ligand interactions and stability, the binding site structure, and how all of these are affected by lipid molecules. Although ligand-lipid interactions are weak, lipid tails play a role in ligand binding pose stability We discuss physicochemical aspects of ligand binding at the receptor-lipid interface and suggest a compound library enriched by weak donor groups for ligand search in such sites."
