Abstract excerpt
Ionotropic glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Desensitization of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid subtype after glutamate binding appears critical for brain function and involves rearrangement of the ligand binding domains (LBDs). Recently, several full-length structures of ionotropic glutamate...
