Abstract excerpt
To investigate the topology of binding sites in two ionotropic receptors, we have initiated a strategy combining affinity labeling with cysteine-scanning mutagenesis. For the GABAA receptor we have used reactive derivatives of non-competitive blockers (NCBs) to explore interacting positions in its channel. The polypeptide positions of the M2 segment of the alpha1 subunit which we mutated into cysteine were...
