  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The authors review the properties and functional characteristics of the H1 receptor and postulate the nature of the ligand-receptor activation site using molecular modeling techniques. A model of the surface of the active site on the receptor was postulated and constructed using Sybyl software on a personal Iris workstation. The surface properties were inferred using the structure-activity relationships for the competitive antagonists which have been reported in the literature.
