Virtual discovery of melatonin receptor ligands to modulate circadian rhythms

The neuromodulator melatonin synchronizes circadian rhythms and related physiological functions through the actions of two G-protein-coupled receptors: MT 1 and MT 2 . Circadian release of melatonin at night from the pineal gland activates melatonin receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hy...
