Significance G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures determined by X-ray crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy include 28 receptors for which complexes with agonists and antagonists can be compared. In all these comparisons, an interatomic distance representing the size of the orthosteric ligand binding groove differs by less than 2.9 Å. In this report, ^(19)F-NMR observations of the NK1R-bound drug molecule aprepitant show that the orthosteric binding groove undergoes transient...

Rapid (2)H NMR Transverse Relaxation of Perdeuterated Lipid Acyl Chains of Membrane with Bound Viral Fusion Peptide Supports Large-Amplitude Motions of These Chains That Can Catalyze Membrane Fusion
An early step in cellular infection by a membrane-enveloped virus like HIV or influenza is joining (fusion) of the viral and cell membranes. Fusion is catalyzed by a viral protein that typically includes an apolar "fusion peptide" (fp) segment that binds the target membrane prior to fusion. In this study, the effects of nonhomologous HIV and influenza fp's on lipid acyl chain motion are probed...
