Cholesterol modulates the organization of the gammaM4 transmembrane domain of the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
A 28-mer gammaM4 peptide, obtained by solid-state synthesis and corresponding to the fourth transmembrane segment of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gamma-subunit, possesses a single tryptophan residue (Trp453), making it an excellent model for studying peptide-lipid interactions in membranes b...
