Energetic contributions to channel gating of residues in the muscle nicotinic receptor β1 subunit.

In the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel family, transmitter binds in the extracellular domain and conformational changes result in channel opening in the transmembrane domain. In the muscle nicotinic receptor and other heteromeric members of the family one subunit does not contribute to the canon...
