1. An isolated mutant human estrogen receptor alpha (hERα) comprising a DNA-binding domain (DBD), a ligand-binding domain (LBD), and an interface between the DBD and the LBD, wherein the tryptophan residue W200 is not mutated to a phenylalanine residue, and wherein at least three tryptophan residues selected from W292, W360, W383, and W393 are mutated to a phenylalanine residue.
