Abstract excerpt
Activation of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors requires agonist binding followed by a conformational change, but the ligand binding and conformation-switching residues have not been completely identified. Systematic alanine-scanning mutagenesis has been used to assess residues 142-164 in transmembrane helix 4 and 402-421 in transmembrane helix 7 of the M(1) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. Several...
