Plasticity of acetylcholine receptor gating motions via rate-energy relationships.

Abstract excerpt

Like other protein conformational changes, ion channel gating requires the protein to achieve a high-energy transition-state structure. It is not known whether ion channel gating takes place on a broad energy landscape on which many alternative transition state structures are accessible, or on a narrow energy landscape where only a few transition-state structures are possible. To address this question, we...
