• Position: SCIENCE SCENE - Glutamate receptor - Brief article

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., have created high-resolution images of the glutamate receptor, a protein that plays a key role in nerve signaling. The advance opens a new window to study protein interactions in cell membranes in exquisite detail. All cells have protein-based receptors on their surface, which act as specific docking sites for key chemicals that trigger a...
