Functional characterization shows that serotonin-induced 5-HT3AR currents saturate at 30 μM and beyond11 (link),33 (link),34 (link). Therefore, the 5-HT3AR protein (~2.5 mg/mL) was filtered and first incubated with 100 μM serotonin for 30 min. After which, 3 mM Fluorinated Fos-choline 8 (Anatrace) was added and the sample was incubated until blotting35 (link). The sample was blotted twice with 3.5 μL sample each time onto Cu 300 mesh Quantifoil 1.2/1.3 grids (Quantifoil Micro Tools), and immediately after the second blot, the grid was plunge frozen into liquid ethane using a Vitrobot (FEI). The grids were imaged using a 300 kV FEI Titan Krios microscope equipped with a Gatan K2-Summit direct detector camera. Movies containing 40-frames were collected at 130,000x magnification (set on microscope) in super-resolution mode with a physical pixel size of 0.532 Å/pix, dose rate of 3.754 electrons/pix/s, and a total exposure time of 12 seconds. Defocus values of the images ranged from −1.0 to −2.5 µm (input range setting for data collection) as per the automated imaging software Latitute S (Gatan Co.).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
