5UEN - PubMed Abstract: 
The adenosine A 1 receptor (A 1 -AR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that plays a vital role in cardiac, renal, and neuronal processes but remains poorly targeted by current drugs. We determined a 3.2 Å crystal structure of the A 1 -AR bound to the selective covalent antagonist, DU172, and identified striking differences to the previously solved adenosine A 2A receptor (A 2A -AR) structure ...
