Abstract excerpt
Charge discrimination in P2X receptors occurs in two stages. The first stage takes place in the extracellular vestibule. The second one happens as the ions travel across the pore. The search of the amino acids required to achieve these goals has focused on negatively charged residues conserved among the family members. This strategy, however, has afforded baffling results since residues that strongly influence...
