Atomic model of the recognition site of the American cockroach pheromone receptor
Abstract
All the minimum-energy conformations (MECs) of two sex pheromones of the American cockroach,Periplaneta americana, and their 11 structural analogs (seven agonists, two antagonists, and two inactive compounds) were calculated using the molecular mechanics method. The MECs of the analogs were compared with the most populated MECs of the pheromones. The MECs most common in all the ligands were assumed to represent the bioactive conformations. An …
