Monod-Wyman-Changeux Analysis of Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Mutants.

Abstract excerpt

We present a framework for computing the gating properties of ligand-gated ion channel mutants using the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model of allostery. We derive simple analytic formulas for key functional properties such as the leakiness, dynamic range, half-maximal effective concentration ([EC50]), and effective Hill coefficient, and explore the full spectrum of phenotypes that are accessible through mutations....
