Abstract

Background: Understanding the function of FFA2 has been slowed by a lack of selective orthosteric ligands. Results: Residues within FFA2 that dictate the recognition and function of potent and selective orthosteric agonists are described. Conclusion: Key aspects of ligand interaction with the orthosteric binding pocket of FFA2 are defined. Significance: This work will be invaluable in future drug development at the FFA2 receptor.
