Structural Basis for Xenon Inhibition in a Cationic Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel.
GLIC receptor is a bacterial pentameric ligand-gated ion channel whose action is inhibited by xenon. Xenon has been used in clinical practice as a potent gaseous anaesthetic for decades, but the molecular mechanism of interactions with its integral membrane receptor targets remains poorly understood...
