Abstract excerpt
Glycine receptors (GlyR) are the primary inhibitory receptors in the spinal cord and belong to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) that are extremely sensitive to low-affinity neurological agents such as general anesthetics and alcohols. The high-resolution pore architecture and the gating mechanism of this superfamily, however, remain unclear. The pore-lining second transmembrane (TM2) segments of...
