Modeling anesthetic binding sites within the glycine alpha one receptor based on prokaryotic ion channel templates: the problem with TM4.

TL;DR: This model of the glycine alpha one receptor (GlyRa1) is built based on the open-state structures of two new high-resolution ion channel templates from the prokaryote, Gloebacter violaceus (GLIC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Human skin barrier formation takes place via a cubic to lamellar lipid phase transition as analyzed by cryo-electron microscopy and EM-simulation

TL;DR: The data support that human skin barrier formation takes place via a cubic to lamellar lipid phase transition and that the barrier formation process was analysed in situ in its near‐native state using cryo‐EM combined with molecular dynamics modeling and EM simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition versus potentiation of ligand-gated ion channels can be altered by a single mutation that moves ligands between intra- and intersubunit sites.

TL;DR: It is shown that a single-site mutation at the F14' site in the GLIC transmembrane domain turns desflurane and chloroform from inhibitors to potentiators, and that this is explained by competing allosteric sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internal duplications in α-helical membrane protein topologies are common but the nonduplicated forms are rare.

TL;DR: It is found that the majority of large transmembrane (TM) proteins contain an internal duplication, and homologs to all human membrane proteins were used to detect the presence of duplicated and nonduplicated proteins, confirming that only in rare cases can homologicals with different duplication status be found.
