Structural basis for cannabinoid-induced potentiation of alpha1-glycine receptors in lipid nanodiscs

Glycine receptors (GlyRs) mediate motor control and pain perception. Here, Kumar et al. present structures of GlyR bound to Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) using cryo-electron microscopy, providing insight into the therapeutic effects of cannabinoids.
