The present invention provides for compositions and methods for modulating the GluR2 receptor. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery, by X-ray crystallography, that a known GluR2 agonist binds to the receptor in two different orientations, thereby diminishing its potency. The present invention provides for structural alternatives in which alternative binding possibilities are substantially eliminated.
本发明提供了调节GluR2受体的组合物和方法。该发明至少部分基于X射线晶体学的发现,即已知的GluR2激动剂以两种不同的方向结合到受体上,从而降低了其效力。本发明提供了结构上的替代方案,在其中替代性结合可能性被大大消除。
