Abstract excerpt
The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel that requires both glutamate and glycine for efficient activation. Here, a strategy combining cysteine scanning mutagenesis and affinity labeling was used to investigate the glycine binding site located on the NR1 subunit. Based on homology modeling to the crystal structure of the glutamate binding site of the...
