Title: Consider two ligand-gated channels, similar in structure and function. Channel A is in the presence ... Post by: runner2392 on Mar 9, 2012 Consider two ligand-gated channels, similar in structure and function. Channel A is in the presence of higher ligand concentration than channel B. Would this influence the probability that channel A will open, compared to channel B? If so, how would it influence the probability?
