Characterization of the channel properties of a neuronal acetylcholine receptor reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers

An alpha-toxin-binding membrane protein, isolated from the head and thoracic ganglia of the locus (Locusta migratoria), was reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. Cholinergic agonists such as acetylcholine, carbamylcholine, and suberyldicholine induced fluctuations of single channels, which sugge...
