Abstract excerpt
GABAA receptors (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors) are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels mediating inhibition in adult mammalian brains. Their static structure has been intensely studied in the past years but the underlying molecular activatory mechanisms remain obscure. The interface between extracellular and transmembrane domains has been recognized as a key player in the receptor gating. However,...
