The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor: from molecular model to single-channel conductance.
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is the archetypal ligand-gated ion channel. A model of the alpha7 homopentameric nAChR is described in which the pore-lining M2 helix bundle is treated atomistically and the remainder of the molecule is treated as a "low resolution" cylinder. Th...
