1 Nicotine binding to native and substituted peptides comprising residues 188-207 of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, and alpha7 subunits. Nicotine immunoglobulin binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
2 The following nonconservative substitutions in the alpha4 peptide resulted in a significant decrease in nicotine affinity for the peptide: Y190A, Y190D, C192G, E195A, E195-, P199A, P199-, and Y203A. Nicotine immunoglobulin binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
3 Substitution of alpha4P199 with a leucine which is present in the alpha1 sequence decreased the affinity of the alpha4 peptide for nicotine and substitution of alpha1L199 with a proline (alpha4) or a glutamine (alpha3) increased the affinity of the alpha1 peptide. Nicotine immunoglobulin binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
4 Substitution of alpha4P199 with a leucine which is present in the alpha1 sequence decreased the affinity of the alpha4 peptide for nicotine and substitution of alpha1L199 with a proline (alpha4) or a glutamine (alpha3) increased the affinity of the alpha1 peptide. Nicotine immunoglobulin binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
5 It is concluded that aromatic residues contribute to the binding site for nicotine on the alpha4 subunit and that the residue present at position 199 partly determines differences in nicotine affinity for different alpha subunits. Nicotine immunoglobulin binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
