The orthosteric binding pocket of GnRH1R is solvent-accessible, appears relatively shallow and plasticity is indicated with respect to different ligands. Structural analysis provides the possibility to design orally deliverable small molecules with activity towards the receptor. | The orthosteric binding pocket of GnRH1R is solvent-accessible, appears relatively shallow and plasticity is indicated with respect to different ligands.
