Abstract excerpt
Sequence and predicted structural similarities between members of the Cys loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channel receptors and the acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) suggest that the ligand-binding site is formed by six loops that intersect at subunit interfaces. We employed site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the role of amino acids from the loop C region of the murine 5-HT(3AS)R in interacting...
