subject Description
Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

Statistics
Shown below are histograms for all MemProtMD entries in grey and for this collection only in blue. Densities for all entries and for this collection are individually normalised. Publication date, resolution and experimental_method are taken directly from the PDB record, whilst membrane thickness is derived from MemProtMD simulations.
