Activation Mechanism of Human Oxytocin Receptor: A Combined Study of Experimental and Computer-Simulated Mutagenesis
TL;DR: Comparison of the free- and agonist-bound forms of the wild-type oxytocin receptor and alpha1B adrenergic receptor suggests that the highly conserved polar amino acids and the seven helices play similar mechanistic roles in the different G protein-coupled receptors.

Amino acids of the α1B-adrenergic receptor involved in agonist binding: differences in docking catecholamines to receptor subtypes
TL;DR: A large number of polar residues playing an important role in the activation process of the α 1B‐AR are identified, providing new insights into the structure/function relationship of G protein‐coupled receptors.
