Molecular structures — PDB entries (kept)
PDB coordinate files are public domain per wwPDB policy (https://www.wwpdb.org/about/pdb-data-use). Renders were produced for this page (PyMOL, black-background cartoon style); cite the deposition paper when displaying.

pdb_new/7WC4-ht2a-serotonin.png |
Serotonin 2A receptor in complex with its native ligand serotonin | Cao D, Yu J, Wang H, Luo Z, Liu X, He L, et al. | Cao D et al. "Structure-based discovery of nonhallucinogenic psychedelic analogs." Science. 2022;375:403–411. doi:10.1126/science.abl8615 |
pdb_new/7WC5-ht2a-psilocin.png |
Same 5-HT2A receptor in complex with psilocin (direct ligand comparison) | Same as above | Same as above |
Required attribution lines (printed on the graphic): "PDB 7WC4 · Cao D, Yu J, Wang H, Luo Z, Liu X, He L, et al., Science 2022 · public-domain coordinates, rendered for this page" and the 7WC5 equivalent. The pair is deliberately shown together: binding is structurally seen; a causal plasticity window is not.

Honesty note (also captioned on the graphics): healthy neurons/tissue, NOT from a psilocybin study. Improvement in studies is observed; the plasticity mechanism is unresolved.
