Revised (β-phenyl) stereochemistry of ultrapotent μ opioid BU72
Munro, T. A.
Show abstract
In its crystal structure in complex with the opioid receptor (OR), the opioid BU72 exhibits extreme deviations from the expected geometry.1 Three of these involve the phenyl group. There is also unexplained electron density next to the benzylic carbon. Here I show that inverting the benzylic configuration fills this unexplained density and eliminates the phenyl group outliers, along with all but one of the others. I propose that this is the correct structure of BU72.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
