=== Ionic Locks ===
Another important structural feature is the series of <scene name='72/721531/Ionic_lock/2'>ionic locks</scene> on the intracellular side of the protein. Interactions between amino acids will form a salt bridge, which will stabilize the inactive conformation<ref name="Dore" />. The primary ionic lock forms between Glu770, Lys665, and Ser613<ref name="Dore" />. A secondary ionic lock occurs between Ser614 and Arg668<ref name="Dore" />. The purpose of these ionic locks is analogous to the ionic interactions that stabilize the T state in [[Hemoglobin]]. In the case of the TMD, when the NAM mavoglurant is bound the ionic lock is formed. This stabilizes the inactive state, where the intracellular loops are stabilized inwards<ref name="Wu" />. This will effectively block the crevice that is involved in binding the G-protein<ref name="Wu" />. Models have suggested that, even in a glutamate bound state, the mavoglurant bound receptor would be dimerized but incapable of signaling<ref name="Wu" />. This helps maintain the readiness of the pathway, while still decreasing signal response.
