Figure 1. Ionotropic glutamate receptor domain organization and agonist structure. (a) iGluR domain organization. Polypeptide segments S1 and S2 comprise the water-soluble, ligand-binding core and the S1S2J construct studied here includes residues 392 -506 (S1) and 632 -775 (S2) linked together by a Gly -Thr dipeptide. The amino terminal domain (ATD) and the transmembrane segments are not contained within the S1S2J construct. (b) Chemical structures of glutamate and 5-substituted willardiines.
