摘要
Crystallographic analysis has been instrumental in revealing the molecular basis for the pharmacological properties of several natural and synthetic ligands of steroid receptors, but it is often a long and arduous process. A new method for stabilizing these receptors greatly accelerates this process, allowing generation of apo receptor crystals and the comparison of multiple structures to define pathway-specific interactions.
