Abstract excerpt
ATP-gated P2X2 channels undergo permeability changes through a process that is incompletely understood. In the present study, we used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and electrophysiology to measure cytosolic gating motions in P2X2 channels as they enter a state with increased permeability. P2X2 channels underwent permeability changes with a time course that was similar to decreases in FRET between...
