State-dependent protein-lipid interactions of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel in a neuronal membrane.

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are receptor proteins that are sensitive to their membrane environment, but the mechanism for how lipids modulate function under physiological conditions in a state dependent manner is not known. The glycine receptor is a pLGIC whose structure has been r...
