Workflow. The first cycle (blue arrows) led to the investigation of the quinine binding mode and, consequently, the identification of the active conformation of the ggTas2r1 binding site. The second cycle (green arrows) is aimed to identify the binding modes of other ggTas2r1 agonists by using the predicted active conformation. In each cycle, PELE (Protein Energy Landscape Exploration) was used to run Induced-Fit simulations and generate the binding site conformations, while mutagenesis analysis was used to identify and validate the binding modes.
