Popis: The dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) is a GPCR and an important drug target for schizophrenia treatment. Here, the authors present the crystal structure of human D2R in complex with the antipsychotic drug spiperone, which is of interest for designing antipsychotics with improved receptor selectivity.
