structures of acetylcholinebinding proteins (AChBPs) have revealed two different possible extensions to the classical ligand binding pocket known to accommodate variousnicotinic agonists. One of the pockets is limited in size while the other is of considerable dimensions and protrudes along the interfacial cleft between subunits. To probe these putative extensions in functional nicotinicacetylcholine receptors
