Unravelling the intricate cooperativity of subunit gating in P2X2 ion channels
Abstract Ionotropic purinergic (P2X) receptors are trimeric channels that are activated by the binding of ATP. They are involved in multiple physiological functions, including synaptic transmission, pain and inflammation. The mechanism of activation is still elusive. Here we kinetically unraveled an...
