↵3-a Data from Davies et al. (1998), in which wild-type and mutant receptors were expressed in tsA201 cells. Kivalues were obtained in experiments in which FNZ was used to displace [3H]Ro15-4513, which was present at a concentration equivalent to its Kd value for each receptor type.
↵3-b As shown in Fig. 2, a plot of the effects of FNZ had a bell-shaped appearance. The parameters quoted were obtained from curve-fitting as described in the text in which (1) describes the potentiation of GABA-induced currents observed at low FNZ concentrations and (2) describes the inhibitory effect at higher concentrations.
