The binding of ligands to the WT β1AR and alanine-substituted β1AR mutants were determined by competition with 50 pM125I-CYP. The data were analyzed using the nonlinear least-squares regression computer program as described underExperimental Procedures. The results are shown as the mean ±S.E. from three to four separate experiments.

    • 6-a P < 0.05,bP < 0.01 compared with the WT β1AR.
