Molecular blueprint of allosteric binding sites in a homologue of the agonist-binding domain of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
In this study we take advantage of a recently described chimera of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP), termed α7-AChBP. To date, more than 70 crystal structures have been determined for AChBP in complex with ligands that occupy the orthosteric b...
