    Unanticipated mechanisms of covalent inhibitor and synthetic ligand cobinding to PPARγ

    Jinsai Shang, Douglas J Kojetin
    Commonly used covalent PPARγ inhibitors weaken, but do not block, binding of other ligands via an allosteric mechanism where ligands clash with a covalent ligand-induced transcriptionally repressive structural conformation.
