Structural Basis of the Proton Sensitivity of Human GluN1-GluN2A NMDA Receptors

Summary: N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are critical for synaptic development and plasticity. While glutamate is the primary agonist, protons can modulate NMDA receptor activity at synapses during vesicle exocytosis by mechanisms that are unknown. We used cryo-electron microscopy to solve the...
