:The linkers are key; besides playing roles in domain swapping and resolving the symmetry mismatch, they are also responsible for relaying the modulation signals from the ATD to the other domains and signaling the conformational change of the LBD to control the opening and closing of the pore. Beyond the two conformations seen here though this particular structure ([[3kg2]]) of the receptor does not shed light on the transduction process. | |||
