Figure 5: Superposition of NR1-NR2A S1S2 and the GluR2 S1S2-aniracetam complex. a, Overlay of the GluR2 S1S2 dimer bound to glutamate and aniracetam (Ani, pink) onto the NR1-NR2A S1S2 dimer (green and blue) viewed from the same angle as in Fig. 1b. b, Magnification of the NR1 Y535 site and the aniracetam-binding site viewed from the same angle as in a. Two water molecules, W1 and W2 (cyan spheres), participate in stabilizing the NR1-NR2A interaction. c, Side view of the NR1 Y535 site. Note that the position of the aniracetam molecule (pink) overlaps with that of the aromatic side chain of NR1 Y535.
