Abstract excerpt
Most AMPA-type glutamate receptors (GluRs) exhibit rapid and virtually complete desensitization when activated by glutamate, and at some central synapses it is largely desensitization that determines the decay of EPSCs. However, the mechanisms underlying the conformation change that results in desensitization are not fully understood. AMPA receptor subunits that contain a single amino acid substitution have been...
