Abstract excerpt
The serotonin type 3A (5-HT(3)A) receptor is a Cys-loop (pentameric) neurotransmitter-gated ion channel found in the central and peripheral nervous systems and implicated in numerous diseases. In previous studies with the endogenous agonist serotonin, we identified two interactions critical for receptor function: a cation-π interaction with W183 in loop B (TrpB) and a hydrogen bond to E129 in loop A. Here we...
