Conformational change theory for auxin structure–activity relationships

An hypothesis is advanced that the hormonal activity attributable to the heterogeneous group of plant growth compounds called auxins is a direct result of the ability of the bound auxin to undergo a simultaneous conformational change or reorientation with the receptor, while in the binding site.
