Abstract

Conformational transitions triggered by the binding of neurotransmitters open the gate of the ion channel domain of glutamate receptors, regulating the transmission of information through the nervous system. Using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET), the agonist-binding domain of the GluA2 receptor, isolated in solution, is observed to interconvert among distinct large-scale conformational states.
