In the open state of the acetylcholine-receptor channel an increased current noise is observed, which may result from conformational fluctuations of the channel protein (Sigworth, F.J., 1985, Biophys. J. 47:709-720). In this study the spectrum of the current noise is analyzed assuming that low-frequency motions of structural domains of the protein give rise to conductance fluctuations. The movement of a domain is treated as the motion of an elastically bound Brownian particle, which is described by the Langevin equation. The current-noise spectrum predicted by this model is given by a sum of Lorentzians; it agrees with the observed spectrum when it is assumed that only the slowest process can be resolved in the experiment. The large value of the friction coefficient, which is obtained from the corner frequency, indicates that domain motion is restricted mainly by peptide-peptide interactions.
在乙酰胆碱受体通道的开放状态下,观察到电流噪声增加,这可能是由于通道蛋白的构象波动所致(西格沃思,F.J.,1985年,《生物物理学杂志》47:709 - 720)。在本研究中,假设蛋白质结构域的低频运动引起电导波动,对电流噪声的频谱进行了分析。一个结构域的运动被视为一个弹性束缚的布朗粒子的运动,由朗之万方程描述。该模型预测的电流噪声频谱由洛伦兹函数之和给出;当假设在实验中只能分辨出最慢的过程时,它与观察到的频谱相符。从转折频率获得的摩擦系数的较大值表明,结构域运动主要受肽 - 肽相互作用的限制。
