Abstract excerpt
Each subunit of the cation-selective members of the Cys-loop family of ligand-gated ion channels contains a conserved proline residue in the extracellular loop between the second and third transmembrane domains. In the mouse homomeric 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3A (5-HT(3)A) receptor, the effects of substitution of this proline by unnatural amino acids led to the suggestion that trans-cis isomerization of the...
