  1. aContacts with the top-ranked pose. A residue was considered to be in contact with a ligand if a non-hydrogen sidechain atom of the residue was within 4.0 Å from a non-hydrogen atom of the ligand.
  2. bExperimental results of the mutations. + indicates that a large contribution to the ligand binding is suggested (>10-fold change in IC50). * is added when the IC50 values were estimated from the data of the fractional block by using the Hill equation (fractional block = [L]h /(IC50 + [L]h)), assuming h = 1. – indicates that no contribution to binding affinity is suggested in the reference.
