Abstract excerpt
The glycine receptor-channel (GlyR) mediates neuronal inhibition by selectively allowing the passage of Cl(-) ions through its channel. The pore region for ion selectivity is localised to the constricted internal end of the M2 transmembrane domain. This paper investigates the contribution of the P-2' residue in determining pore diameter and ion charge selectivity of the GlyR. The deletion of this proline has been...
