Abstract excerpt
The pentameric glycine receptor (GlyR), a member of the nicotinicoid superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels, is an inhibitory Cl(-) channel that is gated by glycine. Using recently published NMR data of the second transmembrane segment (M2) of the human alpha1 GlyR, structural models of pentameric assemblies embedded in a lipid bilayer were constructed using a combination of experimentally determined...
