Activation of native, WT, and mutant AChRs by ACh

Concentration-response data (Fig. 3) were fit to the Hill equation (seeResults). Results are presented as best fit parameter ±90% confidence limit. Data for receptors in BC3H1 cells are fromDilger and Brett, 1990, and consider a wider concentration range (0.3–1000 μM) than the other experiments.
