Figure 1
Three-dimensional homology model of the MR LBD. (A) Overall structure of the MR LBD, α-helices are drawn as ribbons and β-strands
as arrows. Aldosterone is inserted into the ligand-binding pocket (carbon atoms are in white and oxygen atoms in red). (B)
Linear scheme indicating amino acids of the MR LBD-contacting aldosterone. Hydrogen bonds are depicted as arrows, van der
Waals contacts as dashed lines. W, water molecule. Reprinted from Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, Volume 350, Huyet J, Pinon GM, Fay MR, Rafestin-Oblin ME & Fagart J, Structural determinants of ligand binding to the mineralocorticoid
