Values for the IC50 and Hill slope (nH ) of inhibition by N1-DnsSpm were determined from concentration-inhibition curves using oocytes expressing NR1/NR2 receptors and voltage-clamped at −70 mV. Values are mean ± standard error.

    • 4-a Ratio of the IC50 values for N1-DnsSpm at mutant/wild-type receptors.

    • 4-b p < 0.01 compared with wild-type NR1/NR2;

    • 4-c p < 0.01 compared with NR1(N616Q)/NR2 (one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s test, using log IC50 values).
