Exploring block and permeation of N-methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor channels for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) are ionotropic glutamate receptors which can be blocked by Mg2+ in a voltage-dependent manner and are highly permeable to Ca2+, hence they represent a medically relevant target for neurodegenerative disorders caused by excitotoxicity. The two main objectives of...
