Serotonin receptors are activated by the neurotransmitter like serotonin, which acts as their natural ligand. Other endogenous small molecules, like N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), competitively bind Serotonin Receptors producing transcendental psychedelic effects. (more…)

Adenosine Receptor in Complex with Caffeine 5MZP
Cannabinoid Receptor in Complex with THC 5XRA
Cannabinoid receptors are part of the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory. This 3D print of THC Cannabinoid Receptor Complex 5TGZ is designed to visualize THC (color by atom type) bound inside the receptor-binding pocket. (more…)

Psilocybin bound to Serotonin Receptor
Psilocybin bound to Serotonin Receptor Psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychoactive mushrooms, has provided the spiritual and cultural bedrock of many great civilizations. The Aztecs referred to teonanácatl, which translates as ‘divine mushroom’, and modern neuroscience has revealed how psilocybin interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain in order to produce a range of consciousness-altering…
