Conformational rearrangement of the NMDA receptor amino-terminal domain during activation and allosteric modulation
N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) activation involves closure of the GluN1 and GluN2 subunit ligand binding domains, which is regulated allosterically by the amino-terminal domain (ATD). Here, smFRET, used to monitor conformational rearrangements of the NMDAR ATD, reveals that glutamate bindin...
