Non-canonical Gq activation by orexin receptor type 2 and lemborexant observed in microsecond molecular dynamics simulations

Abstract Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides primarily involved in regulating the sleep/wakefulness cycle and circadian rhythm. They bind to the orexin receptor type 1 (OX1) and type 2 (OX2), well-known drug targets in the treatment of sleep disorders, that have recently been shown to play a sign...
