Abstract excerpt
Structural models suggest that Arg(436) lies within five cytoplasmic portals of the 5-HT(3A) receptor. We tested both the accessibility of residue 436 and the influence of its charge on single channel conductance (gamma) by substituting Arg(436) with Cys and examining the effect of methanethiosulfonate (MTS) reagents on gamma. Inclusion of positively charged 2-aminoethyl-MTS (MTSEA) within the electrode solution...
