Allosteric modulators of G-protein-coupled receptors interact with binding sites that are topographically distinct from the orthosteric site recognized by the receptor's endogenous agonist. Allosteric ligands offer a number of advantages over orthosteric drugs, including the potential for greater receptor subtype

Molecular pharmacology, 54(5), 899-906 (1998-11-06)
We investigated whether alcuronium, an allosteric modulator of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, can induce receptor-mediated activation of Go proteins in liposomal membranes incorporating purified M2 receptors and Go proteins and whether its action is affected by the receptor/Go protein (R/Go) ratio.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 93(16), 8705-8709 (1996-08-06)
Ligands that bind to the allosteric-binding sites on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors alter the conformation of the classical-binding sites of these receptors and either diminish or increase their affinity for muscarinic agonists and classical antagonists. It is not known whether the

1. Radioligand binding experiments indicate that the affinity of muscarinic receptors for their agonists may be enhanced by allosteric modulators. We have now investigated if brucine can enhance the inhibitory effects of muscarinic receptor agonists on the electrically evoked release
A Schröter et al.

Muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptors contain an allosteric site that is probably located at the entrance of the ligand binding pocket above the orthosteric binding site. With the orthosteric area not occupied, allosteric agents might gain access to this site. The
