“…H-bond networks involving conserved pairs of amino acids in positions 6.55, 7.35 and 5.43 have been subject of several studies on the D2-like dopamine receptors sub-family (D2, D3 and D4). In the homologous (78% sequence homology) dopamine D2 receptor (D2DR) in complex with agonists and partial agonists, [10][11][12][13] these interaction networks have been associated with low-energy patterns and functional bias. Three conserved functional serine residues on TM5, i.e., S192 5.42 , S193, 5.43 and S196 5.46 are crucial in the GPCR activation pathway that involves the formation of H-bonds between ligand, water, and receptor.…”
