Figure 3.
Figure 3. (A) The dimeric structure of GluR3 bound to glutamate. The helices are labeled as in Armstrong et al.[6] Residues participating in contacts across the dimer interface are labeled. P632 (yellow) flanks the artificial linker region of the construct and is the point that connects to the linkers to the ion channel. The four residues that differ in flip and flop are shown in shades of red. (B) The dimer interface at the S754 (flip)/N754 (flop) interaction with S729. Both can form hydrogen bonds, but the structure of the water surrounding the hydrogen bond differs.
