All AChRs had αP197A and the αε knockout mutation εP121R (70 mV; [TMA] = 5 mM and [ACh] = 10 mM). Mode, H for high PO and L for low PO. E1obs, observed gating equilibrium constant with one agonist at the αδ site; E1corr, gating equilibrium constant after correction for the background mutations; Kd = (E0WT/E1corr), where E0WT = 6.7 × 10−8 at 70 mV (Nayak et al., 2012); ΔG, αδ-binding free energy (+0.59 lnKd). The adult WT, αδ Kd values are: TMA (580 µM; −4.4 kcal/mol) and ACh (175 µM; −5.1 kcal/mol). Additional background mutations (total fold increase in E0): TMA, εL269F + εS450A (271); ACh, βV266A (40), ACha, εL269F (16).

a

δW57A added to the background (WT value is KdACh = 80 µM; −5.6 kcal/mol (Nayak et al., 2014).
