C. Use the three-point contact model to explain Figure 1a and Figure 1b. FIGURE 1. Interaction capacities of the natural R(-)-epinephrine and its S(+) antipode. In simply assuming that the natural R(-)epinephrine establishes a three-point interaction with its receptor (a), the combination of the donor acceptor interaction, the hydrogen bond, and the ionic interaction will be able to generate energies in the order of 12 ~17 kcal/mol, which corresponds to binding constants of 10-9 to 10-12 M. The less active isomer, S(+) epinephrine, may establish only a two-point contact (b). The loss of the hydrogen bond interaction equals approximately 3 kcal/mol. This isomer should therefore possess an approximately 100-fold lesser affinity. Experience confirms this estimate. If we consider less abstract models, it becomes apparent that the less potent enantiomer is also able to develop three intermolecular bonds to the receptor, provided that it approaches the receptor in a different manner. However, the probability of this alternate binding mode triggering the same biological response is close to null.

The biologically weak optical isomer, S(+)-adrenaline, can make contact through only two groups. According to this hypothesis, it would be anticipated that deoxyadrenaline (epinine) should have much the same activity as S(+)- adrenaline. This has been found to be basically true. Computer-generated receptor models for protein-G linked receptors are now available, and Figure 2 illustrates the fit of R(-)-adrenaline into the active site of the B2-adrenergic receptor. It clearly appears that the docking involves more interactions than only the above-mentioned three points: 1. The two phenolic hydroxyl groups exchange hydrogen bonds with Ser505 and Ser508 respectively. 2. The aromatic ring of adrenaline is stabilized by means of a-n interactions with Phe509 and Phe617 3. The cationic head exerts a coulombic interaction with the Aspi" carboxylate and is located in a hydrophobic pocket made of Trp307, Phe616, and Trp613. 4. Finally, the secondary benzylic hydroxyl exchanges a hydrogen bond with Ser410 a FIGURE 2.

The nonnatural S(+)-adrenaline, having the wrong orientation of its benzylic hydroxyl, is unable to exchange a hydrogen bond with Ser410, and achieves therefore a weaker interaction with the receptor. An alternative model of the adrenergic receptor-active site shows that natural R-(-) epinephrine (adrenaline) can establish a hydrogen bond with the Ser410 alcoholic group, whereas this interaction is not possible with the nonnatural S-(+) epinephrine (Figure 3)
