Single-channel recordings of wild-type NMDARs and NMDARs with tryptophan substitutions that showed significantly reduced whole-cell current amplitudes. (A) Example single-channel recordings of GluN1/GluN2A, GluN1(M813W)/GluN2A, or GluN1(E834W)/GluN2A. Recordings were performed in the cell-attached configuration with a pipette potential of 100 mV. Downward deflections reflect inward currents. For each construct, the top half shows a low-resolution example (filtered at 1 kHz), and the bottom half shows a higher-resolution portion of the same record (filtered at 3 kHz). (B) Single-channel current amplitudes (top) and equilibrium open probability (eq. Po; bottom) shown as mean ± SEM (Table 3). Solid bars indicate values significantly different from wild type (P < 0.05, t test). (C) Approximate number of ion channels in the membrane mediating steady-state whole-cell current amplitudes (Table 4).
