(a) Comparative illustration of rotamer toggling (distribution of χ dihedral angles) observed at the conserved regions of C5aR complexed to agonist hC5a and engineered antagonist hC5a(A8) with respect to the other active-inactive pair of GPCRs41,42,43,61,62,63,64,65. (b) Comparison of rotamer toggling observed in C5aR on binding to hC5a with respect to free unbound C5aR. Rotamer toggling for F6.44, W6.48 of “transmission switch” and Y7.53 of “tyrosine toggling switch” are illustrated. Active GPCRs are marked in asterisk. C5aRI: free or unbound C5aR; C5aR: bound to hC5a(A8); C5aR*: bound to hC5a.
