Abstract

Lee et al. assess the druggability of the ionotropic glutamate receptor subfamilies, using molecular dynamics simulations in the presence of drug-like molecules and X-ray crystallography. The study presents a ligand-binding site in the GluA3 N-terminal domain and supports the role of conformational plasticity in modulating ligand binding.
