Acetylcholine Receptor Gating: Movement in the α-Subunit Extracellular Domain
Acetylcholine receptor channel gating is a brownian conformational cascade in which nanometer-sized domains (“Φ blocks”) move in staggering sequence to link an affinity change at the transmitter binding sites with a conductance change in the pore. In the α-subunit, the first Φ-block to move during c...
