The prevailing perspective ...The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor is a promising target for nonopioid analgesics, yet hyperthermic side effects have hindered drug development. The prevailing perspective maintains that extracellular hydrophobic vanilloid ligands, such as capsaicin, traverse the cell membrane to reach the buried vanilloid site during TRPV1 activation. Here, we present an alternative mechanism based on computational and experimental approaches, which suggests a distinct hydrophobic pathway at the TRPV1-cell membrane interface as the principal route for ligand entry to the vanilloid site, rather than direct membrane penetration. Modifications to residues within this pathway greatly delayed capsaicin entry without directly modulating TRPV1 channel gating. A compound designed to occupy this pathway's entrance exhibited analgesic effects without inducing hyperthermia. Cryo-electron microscopy confirmed binding to TRPV1 and its role in perturbing capsaicin entry. Thus, our findings unveil a unique and targetable route for capsaicin access to the TRPV1 vanilloid site.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
