Mutations in the channel domain alter desensitization of a neuronal nicotinic receptor
A VARIETY of ligand-gated ion channels undergo a fast activation process after the rapid application of agonist and also a slower transition towards desensitized or inactivated closed channel states when expos...

Allosteric Sites and Conformational Transitions of the Acetylcholine Receptor: Models for Short-term Regulation of Receptor Response
The word “receptor” is commonly used with two separate significations: for the site complementary to the structure of the chemical messenger and for the protein which carries the site. From a functional point of ...

Molecular Genetics of Torpedo Marmorata Acetylcholine Receptor
The acetylcholine receptor (AcChoR) is one of the best known membrane-bound allosteric proteins (reviewed by Changeux, 1981; Changeux et al., 1984). Integrated in the post-synaptic membrane of the cholinergic syn...
