Abstract excerpt
The structures of acetylcholine-binding protein (AChBP) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) homology models have been used to interpret data from mutagenesis experiments at the nAChR. However, little is known about AChBP-derived structures as predictive tools. Molecular surface analysis of nAChR models has revealed a conserved cleft as the likely binding site for the 4/7 alpha-conotoxins. Here, we used...
