## Abstract The tertiary structure of the pain modulating and anti‐opiate neuropeptide, human neuropeptide AF (NPAF) (the sequence is AGEGLNSQFWSLAAPQRF–NH~2~), was determined by ^1^H‐NMR. The structure of NPAF was determined in two solvent systems, namely 50%/50% trifluoroethanol‐__d__~__3__~/H~2~
The overall structure of the biogenic amine subclass of the G-protein-coupled receptors, and of their ligand binding sites, is discussed with the aim of highlighting the major structural features of these receptors that are responsible for ligand recognition. A comparison is made between biogenic am
