Crystallizing our understanding of partial agonists

David S Weiss & Yongchang Chang

David S Weiss and Yongchang Chang are in the Department of Neurobiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1719 Sixth Avenue. South CIRC410, Birmingham, Alabama 35294, USA. dweiss@nrc.uab.edu

A powerful combination of X-ray crystallography and single-channel current measurements provides new insights into the mechanism by which the binding of agonists opens the AMPA-type glutamate receptor in the central nervous system.
