Abstract

Ribose ring-constrained nucleosides and nucleotides to act at cell-surface purine recesptors have been designed and synthesized. At the P2Y1 nucleotide receptor and the A3 adenosine receptor (AR) the North envelope conformation of ribose is highly preferred. We have applied mutagenesis and rhodopsin-based homology modeling to the study of purine receptors and used the structural insights gained to assist in the design of novel ligands. ...
