Table 1.

Complex formation between dopamine D1-receptor and wild-type adenosine A1-receptor or the mutant A1R-G279S7.44 BRET50 refers to the amount of plasmid encoding wild-type or mutant adenosine A1-receptor giving half-maximum bioluminescence resonance energy transfer; maximum BRET is the response estimated at saturation. The values (means ± S.D.) were calculated by fitting the data from three independent experiments (summarized in Fig. 4) to the equation of a rectangular hyperbola.
