Construction of a designer receptor. Native hM3 receptor responds to the natural hormone (Ach) but does not respond to CNO (Upper). This receptor is matured through saturation mutagenesis to result in a designer receptor (Lower), which responds only to the designer drug (CNO) and is impervious to the natural hormone.
