AFM observation of single, functioning ionotropic glutamate receptors reconstituted in lipid bilayers.

BACKGROUND: Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are responsible for extracellular signaling in the central nervous system. However, the relationship between the overall structure of the protein and its function has yet to be resolved. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an important technique that...
