The Hidden Energetics of Ligand-Binding and Activation in a Glutamate Receptor

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate the majority of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. The free energy of neurotransmitter-binding to the ligand-binding domains (LBDs) of iGluRs is converted into useful work to drive recepto...
