The Graphics Library

... ... ...

The NRR Graphics Library is an educational resource that provides slides, pictures of structures, mechanisms and overviews of the action of nuclear receptors. We hope that its continued development be of service to those who teach higher level courses as well as to those who need a few starters for preparing talks or presentations. Please send us your feedback and your artistic contributions!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIBRARY USERS: all users are expected to cite the source of art work and the artist, and to make original contributions. Slides are copyrighted by the original authors. Permission to reproduce/modify art work is given as long as credit is given. Download files only if you agree to the above requirements.

The volume defined by H12, H11, H5 and H3 provides an opening into the ligand binding domain. Polar regions on H5 and H3 near "loop" assist in docking the polar regions of the ligand

The closing of H12 results in the predominantly lipophilic ligand being surrounded by the hydrophobic interior of the receptor
