Aminomethanesulfonic acid illuminates the boundary between full and partial agonists of the pentameric glycine receptor

To clarify the determinants of agonist efficacy in pentameric ligand-gated ion channels, we examined a new compound, aminomethanesulfonic acid (AMS), a molecule intermediate in structure between glycine and taurine. Despite wide availability, to date there are no reports of AMS action on glycine rec...
