Notes:
Conformations of regulatory peptides interacting lipid membranes were compared with those of chemically constrained molecules that react-selectively with different receptor classes. Striking similarities in the topochemistry of molecules with similar activity were observed, The membrane-induced topomers were almost congruent with the topomers that are selectively recognized by the same receptors. Finally, the ideas developed in the membrane compartments theory allow a quantitative prediction of receptor preference are compatible with our present knowledge of receptor structure.
