Quaternary structure of the acetylcholine receptor
Nature.
1985 Jun.
Abstract
The five membrane-spanning subunits of the acetylcholine receptor have been resolved in electron microscope images and are shown to lie at pentagonally symmetrical positions around the channel over a large fraction of their length. The channel consists of a wide synaptic portion and a narrow portion extending through the membrane into the interior of the cell.
