Challenges predicting ligand-receptor interactions of promiscuous proteins: the nuclear receptor PXR.
Transcriptional regulation of some genes involved in xenobiotic detoxification and apoptosis is performed via the human pregnane X receptor (PXR) which in turn is activated by structurally diverse agonists including steroid hormones. Activation of PXR has the potential to initiate adverse effects, a...
