title = "X-ray structures of Drosophila dopamine transporter in complex with nisoxetine and reboxetine",
abstract = "Most antidepressants elicit their therapeutic benefits through selective blockade of Na + /Cl {\^a} -coupled neurotransmitter transporters. Here we report X-ray structures of the Drosophila melanogaster dopamine transporter in complexes with the polycyclic antidepressants nisoxetine or reboxetine. The inhibitors stabilize the transporter in an outward-open conformation by occupying the substrate-binding site. These structures explain how interactions between the binding pocket and substituents on the aromatic rings of antidepressants modulate drug-transporter selectivity.",
