A release of local subunit conformational heterogeneity underlies gating in a muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
Abstract Synaptic receptors respond to neurotransmitters by opening an ion channel across the post-synaptic membrane to elicit a cellular response. Here we use recent Torpedo acetylcholine receptor structures and functional measurements to delineate a key feature underlying allosteric communication...
