title: Couple dynamics: PPARγ and its ligand partners.
abstract: Ligand-regulated transcriptional activity is the most important property of nuclear receptors, including PPARγ. In this issue of Structure, Hughes et al. determined how the dynamic conformations of ligands and the receptor contribute to the degree of ligand-dependent activation of PPARγ, which provide further insights into design of PPARγ-based anti-diabetic drugs.
