The chemokine receptor CXCR3 is a G protein-coupled receptor that conveys extracellular signals into cells by changing its conformation upon ligand binding. We previously hypothesized that small-molecule allosteric CXCR3-agonists do not bind to the same allosteric binding pocket as 8-azaquinazolinone-based negative allosteric modulators. We have now performed molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations with metadynamics enhanced sampling on the CXCR3 system to refine structures and binding modes and to predict the CXCR3-binding affinities of the biased allosteric agonist FAUC1036 and the negative allosteric modulator RAMX3. We have identified two distinct binding sites; a shallow and a second deeper pocket to which the biased allosteric agonist FAUC1036 and negative allosteric modulator RAMX3 bind, respectively.
