Asymmetric opening of the homopentameric 5-HT3A serotonin receptor in lipid bilayers

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are key players in neurotransmission and have been shown to be modulated by the lipid environment, however the underlying mechanism is not well understood. Here, the authors report structures of the pLGIC 5-HT3A serotonin receptor reconstituted into lipi...
