Opioid receptors: single molecule studies shed light on mechanisms of efficacy

Abstract

Research Highlight: In a study recently published in Nature, Zhao et al.1 investigate the conformational dynamics of the µ-opioid receptor (µOR). They found evidence for previously unknown conformations of this receptor which could eventually improve the therapy of severe pain.
