Allosteric properties of hM3 receptors with mutations at Phe222

The parameters pKapp and Hill slope (nH) represent best-fit values ± S.E. from global curve fitting to the combined data of three or more assays. Data for wild-type hM3 receptors were included for comparison. Statistical significance was determined by F test, either between or within data sets (see Materials and Methods). The between-set P values shown are for comparisons with the immediate parental receptor, hM3. When nH was found to be significantly (P < 0.05) different from the parental receptor (or when there was no parental receptor), a global F test was also carried out to determine whether nH differed from the standard (unit) slope.
