Data sets were analyzed according to eq 2 in the Supporting Information. Difference in equilibrium dissociation constants of allosteric ligands under different light conditions were determined by one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test where appropriate. *, P < 0.1, and ****, P < 0.0001 vs dark conditions.

b

Negative logarithm of the allosteric modulator equilibrium dissociation constant.

c

Receptor expression of hmGlu5.
