Abstract excerpt
1. The normal and a mutant (S248F) human neuronal alpha4beta2 nicotinic receptors, and their interaction with the channel blocker carbamazepine (CBZ) have been modelled. The mutant, responsible for the autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE), has an enhanced sensitivity to and a slower recovery from desensitization, a lower conductance, short open times, reduced calcium permeability, and is 3...
