Abstract

A conserved aspartic acid residue in transmembrane helix 3 of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors is important in binding the headgroup of muscarinic ligands. This acidic amino acid probably points into a relatively hydrophilic cavity whose walls are formed by the amphipathic transmembrane helices of the receptor. Amino acid side chains within this cavity contribute to ligand binding.
