Abstract excerpt
This chapter details methods to express and modify ATP-gated P2X receptor channels so that they can be controlled using light. Following expression in cells, a photoswitchable tool compound can be used to covalently modify mutant P2X receptors, as previously demonstrated for homomeric P2X2 and P2X3 receptors, and heteromeric P2X2/3 receptors. Engineered P2X receptors can be rapidly and reversibly opened and...
