Role of acetylcholine receptor domains in ion selectivity.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 1 Jul 2009

Song Chen, Corry Ben

Abstract excerpt

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a ligand gated ion channel protein, composed of three domains: a transmembrane domain (TM-domain), extracellular domain (EC-domain), and intracellular domain (IC-domain). Due to its biological importance, much experimental and theoretical research has been carried out to explore its mechanisms of gating and selectivity, but there are still many unresolved issues,...
