Un-gating and allosteric modulation of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel captured by molecular dynamics

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) mediate intercellular communication at synapses through the opening of an ion pore in response to the binding of a neurotransmitter. Despite the increasing availability of high-resolution structures of pLGICs, a detailed understanding of the functional i...
