Experimental evaluation of the generalized vibrational theory of G protein-coupled receptor activation

Abstract

Herein, we test the present iteration of the vibrational theory of protein activation by comparing predictions obtained from Turin’s vibrational theory for the activation of olfactory receptors measuring affinity and activation at a nonolfactory receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors. This was done at the CNS serotonin receptor family h5-HT2 and with both the 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine and N,N-dimethyllysergamide agonists. Invalidation was performed through a comparative analysis of agonist behavior between isotopologues
