Data were collected by applying 100 μM ACh to Xenopus oocytes heterologously expressing the receptor. IC50 and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are expressed as the mean ± SEM from 3–5 separate oocytes. Ba2+ containing ND-96 buffer was utilized. Blue colored residues indicate changes introduced into the sequence in this series of analogs. Amino acid abbreviations: Pen, L-penicillamine; I3Y, 3-iodo-L-tyrosine; y, D-Tyr; r, D-Arg; β3hY, β3-homo tyrosine. The C-terminus of each peptide depicted in this table is a free carboxyl group;
