Abstract
Solubilization by Na cholate of acetylcholine receptor-rich membrane fragments from Torpedo marmorata, followed by exchange of NA cholate by the neutral detergent "Tween 80" yields the receptor protein in its 9 S soluble light form; under these conditions, without adding lipids, the receptor protein conserves its characteristic binding properties for the fluorescent agonist Dns-C6-Cho as followed by fast kinetic techniques, and the allosteric regulation by non-competitive blockers.
Translated title of the contribution | Preservation of the allosteric properties of the protein receptor for acetylcholine in detergent solution without addition of lipids |
