Analysis of positive and negative allosteric modulation in metabotropic glutamate receptors 4 and 5 with a dual ligand

Abstract As class C GPCRs and regulators of synaptic activity, human metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) 4 and 5 are prime targets for allosteric modulation, with mGlu5 inhibition or mGlu4 stimulation potentially treating conditions like chronic pain and Parkinson’s disease. As an allosteric m...
