I did hear a talk at an American Chemical Society meeting on a ligand flipping between the two estrogen receptor subtypes, but it hasn?t been published from what I can tell. Here?s a link to the abstract. membership.acs.org/C/COMP/pastprograms/Fall06abstracts.pdf Kendall On 2/18/08 8:38 PM, "Read, Jon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Kendall, did you get any replies about this as I would be interested in hearing about these.

I do have another question. Can anyone suggest some references for structures showing that a small molecule ligand binds differently in closely related proteins? Thanks, Kendall -- Kendall W.
