Abstract
In this chapter we summarize some aspects of the structure-functional relationship of the alpha 1a and alpha 1b-adrenergic receptor subtypes related to the receptor activation process as well as the effect of different alpha-blockers on the constitutive activity of the receptor. Molecular modeling of the alpha 1a and alpha 1b-adrenergic receptor subtypes and computational simulation of receptor dynamics were useful to interpret the experimental findings derived from site directed mutagenesis studies.
