Energetics of gating at the apo–acetylcholine receptor transmitter binding site

Acetylcholine receptor channels switch between conformations that have a low versus high affinity for the transmitter and conductance for ions (R↔R*; gating). The forward isomerization, which begins at the transmitter binding sites and propagates ∼50 Å to the narrow region of the pore, occurs by app...
