Gating at the mouth of the acetylcholine receptor channel: energetic consequences of mutations in the alphaM2-cap.

Gating of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors from a C(losed) to an O(pen) conformation is the initial event in the postsynaptic signaling cascade at the vertebrate nerve-muscle junction. Studies of receptor structure and function show that many residues in this large, five-subunit membrane protein co...
