Abstract

In this issue of Structure, Shang and Kojetin (2021) present insights into the binding mechanism of artificial agonists to the PPARγ nuclear receptor. These data support a two-step model with induced fit and conformational selection aspects. This mechanism may exist in related receptors, providing new opportunities for drug development.
