Data are means ± S.E.M. of three to nine experiments; individual results have been shown where n < 3.

  • 1-150 , Significantly different from wild-type M3(p < 0.05 by Student's two-tailed t test);

  • 1-159 , Although clearly different from wild-type M3, significance could not be evaluated numerically because of flat binding curves.

  • NM, not measurable because the binding curves were flat.
