The primary binding site is at the extracellular region of the AT 1 receptor where Ang II interacts with residues in the N-terminus of the AT 1 receptor and its first and third extracellular loops. The transmembrane helices also contribute to the binding via the C-terminal carboxyl group that interacts with Lys 199 in the upper part of helix 5 ...
