Characterizing the Ion-Conductive State of the α7-Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor via Single-Channel Measurements and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Nauman Sultan, Gisela D. Cymes, Ada Y. Chen, Bernard R. Brooks, Claudio F. Grosman, Ana Damjanovic

This study combines single-channel recordings and MD simulations to evaluate the conductive properties of different 7-nAChR structures, identifying which conformations align with physiological function.

GABAA receptor gating imaged on the millisecond timescale

Daniel B. Mihaylov, Tomas Malinauskas, Gisela D. Cymes, Jonas Miehling, Veronica T.-C. Chang, Katerina Naydenova, Claudio F. Grosman, Alexandru Radu Aricescu

Single-particle cryo-EM was used to explore the dynamic conformational landscape of three human GABAA receptor variants within the first 10 milliseconds of interaction with their neurotransmitter agonists.
