Abstract excerpt
An extended Monod-Wyman-Changeux allosteric-type model is applied to human muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed in HEK cells, for both the normal form and the high-affinity human myasthenic mutant, epsilon T264P. The model is based on a concerted transition between the basal (resting) B state and the active (open-channel) A state, with the equilibrium in the absence of ligand determined by the...
