The Acetylcholine Receptor: An Allosteric Membrane Protein

Abstract The allosteric transitions of the acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo marmorata electroplaque, the effect of noncompetitive blockers on these transitions, and the subunit localization of their allosteric binding sites are discussed.
