Abstract excerpt
The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) is involved in various intracellular signaling pathways that mediate addiction, chronic pain, and other diseases, but its intracellular domain structures remain undetermined. The presence of 17 native cysteines in α7 nAChR provides opportunities for extracting structural information through site-directed labeling of chemical probes in strategic locations, but it...
