the conserved transmembrane domains, created a structure-based multiple sequence alignment, and analyzed global protein fold similarity, pore size, and ligand binding pockets. Leveraging the wealth of structural information provides insight into commonalities and differences among TRP channels and generates testable hypotheses for future functional studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
