Activation Mechanisms for Context-Dependent Allosteric Modulation of the mGlu7 receptor
The Promise of Discovery Season 4, Episode 4
This research examines mGlu7, a transmembrane receptor involved in several neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Rett syndrome, ADHD, schizophrenia, and Neurofibromatosis Type 1. The project discussed studies the mechanism of mGlu7 activation by allosteric modulators to develop new treatments and help guide drug discovery efforts.
