Effects of mutations in o3/TM7 region on allosteric interactions

Affinities (expressed as pKapp) for gallamine and W84 are shown, along with half-times of dissociation of [3H]NMS in the absence of allosteric modulators. To facilitate comparisons, the affinit y data have also been transformed to a scale of relative difference between the p Kapp values of the human M2 and M5 receptors (see Materials and Methods). Data shown represent mean ± S.E.M. from three or more assays for pKapp values and six or more assays for half-times. Receptors were expressed in COS-7 cell membranes.
