Theoretical conformation of the closed and open states of the acetylcholine receptor channel.

Ben Corry1.   

Abstract

We conduct a theoretical analysis to show the recently imaged structure of the acetylcholine receptor pore is in a non-conducting state. A hypothesised open state consistent with a lower resolution image is created and shown to have high conductance.
