Structural correlates of affinity in fetal versus adult endplate nicotinic receptors

Adult and fetal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) have different functional requirements and affinity for ACh. Here, the authors use molecular dynamics and electrophysiology to investigate this affinity, and identify four amino acids that when swapped exchange function between adult and feta...
