Abstract excerpt
The glutamate receptor (GluR) agonist-binding site consists of amino acid residues in the extracellular S1 and S2 segments in the N-terminal and M3-M4 loop regions, respectively. Molecular and atomic level structural analyses have identified specific S1 and S2 residues that interact directly with ligands, interact with one another in a dimeric configuration, and influence channel gating and desensitization...
