Oligomeric structure of muscarinic receptors is shown by photoaffinity labeling: subunit assembly may explain high- and low-affinity agonist states.

abstract：:Human cDNA clones encoding a structure-specific recognition protein, SSRP1, that binds specifically to DNA modified with cisplatin have been isolated and characterized. The SSRP1 gene maps to human chromosome 11q12. The cDNA clones, obtained by using partial-length cDNAs described previously, predict an 81-kDa protein...
