Tethered ligands reveal glutamate receptor desensitization depends on subunit occupancy

A tethered ligand approach reveals that four ligand molecules are required for full desensitization of tetrameric iGluR (glutamate receptor) channels. When fewer ligands are bound, which might be the case during synaptic transmission, desensitization is incomplete or non-existent.
